Question

If triangle STU is similar to triangle VWX, which statement is true about the two triangles?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. segment TU is proportional to segment WX and ∠S is congruent to ∠V

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that, triangles STU is similar to triangle VWX.

Now, when two triangles are similar, the order of the letters is important and so, the corresponding angles are congruent (equal) and the corresponding sides are proportional.

So, as ΔSTU is similar to ΔVWX.

ST is proportional to VW and TU is proportional to WX

∠S is congruent to ∠V and ∠U is congruent to ∠X.

Therefore, according to the options, we see that side TU is proportional to side WX and ∠S is congruent to ∠V.

Hence, option D is correct.

Answer 2

B. Segment TU is proportional to segment WX, and angles S and V are proportional
