Answer:
Given
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that: △RST ~ △VWX, TU is the altitude of △RST, and XY is the altitude of △VWX.
Comparing △RST and △VWX;
TU ~ XY (given altitudes of the triangles)
<TUS = <XYW (all right angles are congruent)
<UTS ≅ <YXW (angle property of similar triangles)
Thus;
ΔTUS ≅ ΔXYW (congruent property of similar triangles)
<UTS + <TUS + < UST = <YXW + <XTW + <XWY = (sum of angles in a triangle)
Therefore by Angle-Angle-Side (AAS), △RST ~ △VWX
So that:
=
(corresponding side length proportion)
