The answer would be D) no, these triangles are not similar. I'm pretty sure they would be similar if one of the answer choices said ΔABC ~ ΔCED

<u>Answer: </u>D.  No, these triangles are not similar.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

From the given picture, it can be seen that in Δ ABC, AB=BC=9 units

Therefore, ∠ABC=∠ACB=65°  [Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal]

Then ∠BAC=180°-∠ABC-∠ACB    [by angle sum property of triangle]

⇒ ∠BAC=180°-65°-65°

⇒ ∠BAC=50°

Similarly in ΔDEC, DA=DC=6 units, then ∠DEC=∠DCE  [Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal]

Let  ∠DEC=∠DCE=x

Then by angle sum property, in ΔDEC

∠DEC+∠DCE=180°-∠EDC

⇒ x+x=180°-46°

⇒ 2x=134°

⇒x=67°

∴∠DEC=∠DCE=67°

We can see that no two angles of both the triangles are equal.

Therefore, hese triangles are not similar.

The two-column proof below describes the statement and reason for proving that corresponding angles are congruent.
noname [10]
Step 6 wants us to show two angles which are also two interior angles that are located on the same side.

Interior angles are angles that are INSIDE the parallel lines.

On the diagram given, there are two pairs of interior angles that are on the same side:

Angle VQT and angle ZRS
Angle UQT and angle WRS

Two interior angles on the same sides add up to 180°

The missing statement that would fit statement in Step 6 is:
m∠VQT + m∠ZRS = 180°

Answer: Second option

Which one represents a line which is parallel to the line y=-7x-4
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Any linear equation of the slope-intercept form y =7x/4+ b will be parallel to y=7x/4, since the slope of 7/4 will be the same for all such lines
