Answer:

The polygons are similar

ΔRST ≈ ΔUVW; \frac{5}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

The triangles have similar angles at U and R.

Therefore, the triangles must have the similar first letter naming.

Starting the triangle at U, the triangle will be named: UVW.

The second triangle will be named starting at R: RST

The ratio of the areas is the ratio of the corresponding sides. Therefore, taking the ratio of the bases:

RST : UVW will be : \frac{15}{18} = \frac{5}{6}

Yes. The two triangles are similar in that. 

ΔRST ≡ ΔUVW. 

The scale factor of the similarity is,
 
Scale factor = RS/UV
                    = 10/12
                    =5/6

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

<P = 27°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the sum of all three interior angles = 180

So triangle NOP, <N + <O + <P = 180

Plug in

9x - 1 + 3x - 2 + 2x + 1 = 180

14x = 2 = 180

14x = 182

x = 13

<P = 2x + 1

<P = 2(13) + 1

<P = 26 + 1

<P = 27

Answer:

<P = 27°
