Question

Triangle GHI is similar to triangle JKL. Which statement is true about the two triangles?

Angles G and L are congruent.
Angles H and K are proportional.
Angles I and L are congruent.
Angles K and J are proportional.
i think its B but im not sure

Answer 1

>> Angles H and K are proportional.

No.

The corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent.

Answer 2

Look at the order of the letters in the triangle similarity statement.

Triangle GHI is similar to triangle JKL.

GHI
JKL

means that G<->J
and
H<->K
and
I <-> L where <-> means corresponds.

Answer 3

so it would be C?

Answer 4

While H and K are corresponding vertices, that does not mean that the angles with those vertices are proportional. It means that they are congruent.

Answer 5

>> Angles I and L are congruent.

Does vertex I correspond to vertex L ?

From above, I <-> L where <-> means corresponds.

So, yes. the vertices correspond and the angles are congruent.

Answer 6

okay thanks so much for the help!

Answer 7

You are welcome.
