Part A Angles CBG and angles EBP are similar triangles.
Part B They are equal since vertical angles are congruent.
MidniteSunny:
remember that order matters when saying "angles cbg and angles ebp are similar" r u sure those match up?
jonahneedshelp2121:
hmm not sure i am really bad at this
MidniteSunny:
Alright well first thing's first, similar polygons are polygons that have congruent angles and corresponding sides that are proportional to one another. No matter what side AB & A'B' (just an example) measure, they will have the same ratio to each other.

oh so what do i need to do rn?

Obviously you can just tell by looking at the figure that they are the only options that could be similar, though. Part A is easy, you know which ones are similar, just match up the corresponding sides. You said CBG, so you have defined triangle one (the larger one) as CBG. The smaller triangle seems to be flipped.
MidniteSunny:
As a starting point, C matches with the point P.
MidniteSunny:
Does that make sense?
jonahneedshelp2121:
...hmm thinking here
jonahneedshelp2121:
so what do i put of a?

confused
MidniteSunny:
Part A: triangle CBG is similar to triangle PEB
jonahneedshelp2121:
ok lol let me see how you got that cuz I don't want to be cheating..
jonahneedshelp2121:
ohhh ok i see
MidniteSunny:
C = P, B = E, & B = G
yes

i see i put them in the wrong order
jonahneedshelp2121:
is part b right?
jonahneedshelp2121:
Part B They are equal since vertical angles are congruent.
jonahneedshelp2121:
this is what i had what is wrong with it?
Part B They are equal since vertical angles are congruent.
MidniteSunny:
Aren't vertical angles adjacent from one another

oohhhhh so
jonahneedshelp2121:
Part B They are equal since vertical angles adjacent from one another
jonahneedshelp2121:
i think
MidniteSunny:
No no, I meant vertical angles are supposed to be adjacent from one another, but these triangles arent
jonahneedshelp2121:
oh so was i rigth? whith what I had?

Not really, instead we can take a look at the side lengths. We know that side GC is congruent to side BP. GC = 375 ft, BP = 225 ft, probably can use that to identify the ratio between them
jonahneedshelp2121:
oof now i am confused what the answer is XD
MidniteSunny:
huge note though i literally was learning about similar triangles like for the last two weeks this stuff is fairly new to me as well lol
jonahneedshelp2121:
also THX for the help oready
