Try label them.

8bithelix:

first set of triangles, is NA

Shadow:

why

8bithelix:

because we have no info of the sides being equal to each other

Shadow:

They have given you more than what you think. They have given you that there are two 90 degree angles and two similar angles.

8bithelix:

hm

8bithelix:

so then i assume it would be AAS

8bithelix:

(i am new to this dont hurt me)

Shadow:

It does not depict any sides that are congruent.

8bithelix:

based on that link you gave me the only thing i can come up with for the first set is NA because we are not told about the sides being equal to each other by length

8bithelix:

unless its SSA

8bithelix:

wait nvm

Shadow:

How many angles do they note in the first figure?

8bithelix:

1

Shadow:

What does the square thing in the angle say

8bithelix:

90 degrees

Shadow:

So if they both have that sign, what does that mean?

8bithelix:

congruent

8bithelix:

actually

8bithelix:

yes

Shadow:

what is congruent

8bithelix:

the right angles

Shadow:

So how many angles are similar, between those two triangles

8bithelix:

2

Shadow:

So under what condition would these triangles be similar

8bithelix:

ASA

Shadow:

There are no congruent sides

8bithelix:

im so confused.

Shadow:

The first figure has two similar angles, also known as AA. If two angles are the same, then the third also is, so AA is also AAA.

8bithelix:

so the first pair is AAA.

Shadow:

yes
