Why are corresponding exterior angles of similar triangles congruent?
1 answer:
Answer:
In Euclidean geometry, two objects are similar if they have the same shape, or one has the same shape as the mirror image of the other. More precisely, one can be obtained from the other by uniformly scaling (enlarging or reducing), possibly with additional translation, rotation and reflection. This means that either object can be rescaled, repositioned, and reflected, so as to coincide precisely with the other object. If two objects are similar, each is congruent to the result of a particular uniform scaling of the other.

Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of distance from home as a function of time starts at the origin of coordinates (0,0) since at time zero minutes Varun is at home.
Then we represent his driving at constant speed (although it has not been specified in the problem) as a line with positive slope equal to his speed, that goes on for the first five minutes. After that, he reaches the traffic light that keeps him at the same distance from home for three minutes (notice the line representing the distance covered is flat from minute 5 to minute 8, while he is not moving).
Then he starts moving again (we assume at the same speed as before - so the line representing his position is again a line with positive slope and with the SAME inclination as that which represents the first 5 minutes of his trip.
The line ends at minute 15 which is the time it took him to get to work.
