△ABC has interior angles with measures x°, 90°, and 65°, and △DEF has interior angles with measures y°, 65°, and 20°. Using the

given information, which statement is true? A The two triangles are not similar because x≠20 and there cannot be three congruent interior angels. B The triangles are similar because they each have an interior angle with measure 65°. C The two triangles are similar because y=90 . D The two triangles are not similar because the interior angles are congruent but the side lengths are different.

Answer:

The correct option is A. The two triangles are not similar because x ≠ 20 and there cannot be three congruent interior angels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ΔABC has interior angles with measures x°, 90°, and 65° and ΔDEF has interior angles with measures y°, 65°, and 20°.

We know, corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal. So, if ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar then their corresponding angles must also be equal.

Now, using angles sum property in ΔABC

⇒ x + 90° + 65° = 180°

⇒ x + 155° = 180°

⇒ x = 180° - 155°

⇒ x = 25°

⇒ x ≠ 20°

So, clearly it can be seen corresponding angles of ΔABC and ΔDEF are not equal.

Thus, The correct option is A. The two triangles are not similar because x ≠ 20 and there cannot be three congruent interior angels.

Answer: A. The two triangles are not similar because x≠20 and there cannot be three congruent interior angels.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: △ABC has interior angles with measures x°, 90°, and 65°

△DEF has interior angles with measures y°, 65°, and 20°.

If △ABC is similar to △DEF then their corresponding angles should be equal.

Suppose △ABC is similar to △DEF then x=20°

But in △ABC

x+90°+65°=180° [angle sum property of triangle]

⇒x+155°=180°

⇒x=180°-155°

⇒x=25°

⇒x≠20°

⇒△ABC is not similar to △DEF.

Therefore A is the right option.

Lady_Fox [76]
5/6 = 83% 
1/6= 16%

83% of the apple pie was left from dinner. 
Victor is gonna eat 16% of the pie tomorrow 
You have to subtract 16% from 83%
In other words 5/6-1/6


The denominators are same so you don't have to do anything to them  
5/6 - 1/6 

5-1=4

4/6 of the pie would be left 
In simplest form it would be 

4/6     <span> ÷2</span>
=2/3

2/3 is in simplest form

Which of these statements is true? A. The interior angles of both a regular and irregular pentagon have a sum of 540o. B. The in
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

 Option A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

 The sum of interior angles of a polygon is given by (n-2) x 180°, where n is the number of sides.

 The sum of interior angles will not affect irregularity of polygon, it is same for regular and irregular polygon.

 For a pentagon n =5.

 Sum of interior angles = (5-2) x 180 = 3 x 180 = 540°

  Option A is the correct answer.
