amistre64 · Answer

good, and what do the triangles in the problem have in common?  at least that we can deduce outright

anonymous · Answer

they are both acute

amistre64 · Answer

hmm, they might be, but i dont see how that applies to a solution.

our methods all use angles and sides .... 

we see a 25, in both triangles, and a tick mark on a side in both triangles; these are the parts that are obviously equal right?

anonymous · Answer

yes

hmm, what do we know about angles when we make an 'X' with 2 lines?

anonymous · Answer

they are perpendicular

amistre64 · Answer

depends on the x, the least we can say is that the angles created are equal in some respect ...
