Question

Using the Law of Detachment, find the conclusion for the following: If two triangles are similar, then their corresponding angles are congruent.
Triangle ABC and Triangle XYZ are similar.
Question 8 options:
AB≅XY
ABC≅XYZ
The statements are not valid.

Answer 1

Answer:

∠ABC ≅ ∠XYZ

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ΔABC is similar to ΔXYZ.

If two triangles are similar, then

1. the corresponding angles are congruent

2. the corresponding sides are proportional

From the options given,

AB ≅ XY is not applicable for similar triangles. Hence the option is wrong.

∠ABC ≅ ∠XYZ since  ΔABC ≅ ΔXYZ

Hence the answer is ∠ABC ≅ ∠XYZ
