helppp someone!!!

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

i just need the answer for part C :)

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

@sammixboo ?????

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

is it angle A?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Yesm would you like to know why?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

yes! explain why please :)

sammixboo (sammixboo):

The two triangles are similar, which means they have the same proportions. Another definition could be that you just resized the shape, but if the two triangles are similar, that means the angles stay the same

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Angles stay the same, but the size is different.

sammixboo (sammixboo):

There is probably a different way you can explain WHY they correspond as well, but that is the first thing that popped into mind

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

So the answer for part C is : Angle A on triangle PAB corresponds to angle QR because the two triangles are similar, which means they have the same proportions. Angles stay the same, but the size is different.

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Yes, but I would reword it differently

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

how?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Reword the last sentence so it flows better. You don't really have to, because it's math, not English

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Lol

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

lol how would i re-word it? help

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Oh, and it's angle Q, not QR

sammixboo (sammixboo):

So that means the angle stays the same, but not the size.

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

oh yea thanks for correcting me!! lol i was going to put QR :D

sammixboo (sammixboo):

That's a simple mistake ;) It's all OK.
