OpenStudy (anonymous):

well when you have triangles stated like that (ABC) and (DEF) that means that the first letters are congruent a=d b=e and c=f. Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes like this then right? |dw:1446831610079:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the triangles are similar, all angles on one triangle are congruent to the angles on the other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my answer would be C Angles B and E are proportional ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

congruent means that they are all equal but the triangles are similar not congruent :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would say A and D are congruent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oohhhh ok ya you had it right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was gonna say... lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is C right?
