Question

please help. geometry homework. i only have these two problems left

Answer 1

the last one is the stuff i need to do. the first two photos are the problems i need help on

Answer 2

wait whats the question?

Answer 3

i just need help figuring out if these triangles are similar and if so how are they similar

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

eep i wish i was a smart hooman right now but ill try

Answer 6

i have all of the others done, it's just these two that i'm stuck on

Answer 7

ya ummm im not good at dis and i feel bad that i can't help you cuz you helped meh wit meh math

Answer 8

it's ok fran

Answer 9

oki sawrry

Answer 10

You need to fill out both? (Triangle proofs) Or have you already filled them out

Answer 11

yes please. just these two

Answer 12

i got the rest done and i found them easier than these two

Answer 13

I don't know this format type of proof

Can you send a sample proof?
Would help me understand what she wants

Answer 14

He/she prof

Answer 15

sure

Answer 16

that is one of the examples in the notes *i looked through the notes and i'm still lost*

Answer 17

Eh? I dont understand the handwriting

I'll do my best to explain what I know, hopefully you will know where to put it :v)



Can you see that?

Answer 18

i don't see any extra drawing on it that you put. would this one not be similar because there isn't enough info?

Answer 19

No no, that's just the original

There used to be some bugs with it, just wanted to make sure if you saw it

Answer 20

ah. yea i can see it clearly

Answer 21

Okay so here, we can just start out with both angles with 40 degrees

Since they are the same we can say they are equal. (This would be \(\angle B\cong \angle L\))
[I am assuming you know what congruency means, if you don't please say so]



Using that same idea, you see that \(\angle C\cong \angle G\) as well (35 degrees)




I'm guessing they want the given for A?

You'd have something like A. \(\angle B\cong \angle L\), \(\angle C\cong \angle G\))



Does that make sense?

Answer 22

yes it does. what i would do to find a is add 40 and 35, then subtract that by 180

Answer 23

so for #7, /_\ ABC is \[\triangle ABC is congruent \to \triangle FGL\]

Answer 24

Careful, the triangles themselves are similar not congruent (note the sign that was written)



Based on your example, the order of the triangle doesn't matter but yeah you'd write something like

\(\triangle ABC\) `~` \(\triangle FLG \)

Answer 25

ok, thank you so much

Answer 26

I am not sure what they want for C, I do have some guesses



Based on the previous proof

We know that the line between both congruent angles is in the same relative position as each, we can assume these are similar (We were not given measurements though)

\(\overline{BC}\) `~` \(\overline{LG}\) **They are similar**



Alternatively, if they are asking for the postulate:

Based on the above, we'd have ASA


If you're unsure on how I got there, please ask

Answer 27

for C, all they were wanting was to explain what postulate was shown for congruency if the triangles are congruent and explain why they aren't congruent

Answer 28

I take half of what I said back

We don't use postulates because the triangles aren't congruent

Answer 29

Revised:

I am not sure what they want for C, I do have some guesses


Based on the previous proof

We know that the line between both congruent angles is in the same relative position as each, we can assume these are similar (We were not given measurements though)

\(\overline{BC}\) `~` \(\overline{LG}\) **They are similar**

Answer 30

ok, thank you so much. it really helped
