Triangle STU is dilated to form new triangle VWX. If angle S is congruent to angle V, what other information will prove that the
two triangles are similar? Side ST is congruent to side VW. Angle T is congruent to angle V. Side US is congruent to side XV. Angle U is congruent to angle X.
2 answers:
Answer:
(D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Two triangles are similar if it satisfies the following properties:
1) Corresponding angles are congruent.
2) Corresponding sides are all in same proportion.
Here, ΔSTU and ΔVWX are given, where ∠S is congruent to ∠V.
To prove these two triangles similar, we need one more corresponding angle to be congruent.
And from all the options, (d) Angle U is congruent to angle X. will help in proving ΔSTU and ΔVWX similar triangles.
Therefore, (d) is correct.
