Question

Please Help!
Triangle GHI is dilated to form new triangle JKL. If angle H is congruent to angle K, what other information will prove that the two triangles are similar? (5 points)
Angle G is congruent to angle L.
Side GH is congruent to side JK.
Angle I is congruent to angle L.
Side IG is congruent to side LJ.

Answer 1

@dan815 @zepdrix anyone?

Answer 2

similar triangles have "congruent" i.e. equal corresponding angles

when they show the angles as in GHI and JKL, I would "line them up"
G H I
J K L

if you can at least 2 pairs are equal then you know the third pair are also equal.

they tell you H and K are equal. That is one pair. You need one more pair.
Which choice mentions one of the remaining two pairs: G & J or I & L ?

Answer 3

G and J?

Answer 4

@phi

Answer 5

which choice is that ?

Answer 6

so its B?

Answer 7

which choices mentions angles (not sides) ?

Answer 8

C?

Answer 9

@phil

Answer 10

why ?

Answer 11

because it looks like the only one that fits

Answer 12

because it is the only choice that mentions angle I match angle L

if they had a choice that had angle G and J , that would also be an answer
(but they don't)

Answer 13

so c is the only appropriate choice right

Answer 14

thank youuu
