Question

Can someone help me with the concept of this? We have a worksheet with like 45 questions and I have no clue how to do it. We have to say if it’s similar or not and then, how we know theyre similar, and a similarity statement

Answer 1

Answer:

So since QRS is ~ another triangle, and they are not exactly similar, I assume that the problem wants you to compare QRS with another angle. QRS is closely congruent to UVW (assuming that you are comparing triangles not angles).

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangles have an angle total of 180 degrees. If you add those two angles together, they have the same sum, and the third anglecan be found by subtracting the total from 180. For example, 95+36 = 131. 180-131=49, which is the third angle for triangle QRS. You can do the same for UVW.

It is important to compare them in order. For instance, Triangle QRS would not be congruent to WVU since they are not in the same order. To compare them in the correct order, compare the angles. Q is about equal to U. R is about equal to V. S is about equal to W since they both have missing angles. Therefore, you can state that triangle QRS is about equal to UVW.
