Question

The figure shows two parallel lines AB and DE cut by the transversals AE and BD:

AB and DE are parallel lines, and AE and BD are transversals. The transversals intersect at C. Angle CAB is labeled 1, angle ABC is labeled 2, angle ACB is labeled 3, angle DCE is labeled 4, angle CDE is labeled 6, and angle CED is labeled 5.

Which statement best explains the relationship between Triangle ABC and Triangle EDC ?
Triangle ABC is similar to triangle EDC , because m∠3 = m∠6 and m∠1 = m∠4
Triangle ABC is similar to triangle EDC , because m∠3 = m∠4 and m∠1 = m∠5
Triangle ABC is congruent to tri

Answer 1

here, we have this:
angles 3 and 4 are congruent since they are vertical angles
angles 1 and 5 are congruent because they are interior alternate angles
angles 2 and 6 are congruent, since they are interior alternate angles

Answer 2

its either b or c

Answer 3

more precisely is it b or is it c?

Answer 4

but the sign a proximatley equal to

Answer 5

hint:
similar triangles have congruent interior angles

Answer 6

Its c

Answer 7

are you sure?

Answer 8

im like 90% percent sure

Answer 9

It is option b, since the two triangles have interior angles congruent neatly

Answer 10

man but what makes it b?

Answer 11

wait so what does this sign mean ~

Answer 12

please look at my post above:
angle 3 and 4 are congruent, since they are vertical angles

Answer 13

that symbol means "congruent"

Answer 14

oh i was getting confused in between the signs that is why i chose c

Answer 15

ok!

Answer 16

in general the symbol "~" between two geometrical object, namely sides or angles, means "congruent"

Answer 17

Answer 18

okay thank you (:
