Question

Are the two triangles below similar?

Triangles MNO and PRQ are shown. Angle N measures 105 degrees, angle O measures 50 degrees, side MN measures 15, side NO measures 9, angle P measures 50 degrees, angle Q measures 25 degrees, side QR measures 5, side PR measures 3.

No, because the corresponding sides are not proportional
Yes, because the corresponding sides are proportional
No, because there are not two pairs of congruent corresponding angles
Yes, because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles

I can't decide between A or C. Please someone help

Answer 15

no the tagging with names

Answer 16

oh lol ya ur right

Answer 17

as for your problem,

the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always equal to 180 degrees

Answer 18

also, how do you know if two triangles are similar?

Answer 19

if their congruent?

Answer 20

no, congruent triangles mean that the triangles are exactly the same, which means that the triangles both share the same side lengths

Answer 21

This one is a bit tricky because the triangles are not displayed in a corresponding orientation. So it might help to shimmy this other triangle around in this way.
