Answer:

<h2>B) The triangles are congruent, but not similar.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • \triangle FGH is isosceles.
  • FG \cong GH.

In the image attached you can observe what Elijah did. The vertical line goes from vertex G to the midpoint K. When this happens, the resulting right triangles are congruents, that is, because we already know that FG is congruent to GH, GK is common for both triangles and the pair of angles in the base of the isosceles are congruent, by definiton.

Therefore, the triangles are congruent, but no similar. Choice B is correct.

Remember, when we talk about similarity, it refers to proportional corresponding sides of the triangles. When we talk about congruence, it refers to the exact equivalence between corresponding sides of both triangles. That's the difference. So, as you can deduct, a triangle cannot be similar and congruent at the same time.

Use a flowchart to prove if the triangles in each pair of similar. NO LINKS!!!<br>​
vekshin1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Start

<F = <Q                     Given

<GPF = <RPQ           Vertically opposite angles

<FGP = <QRP            A triangle has 180 degrees. 2 equal angles means the third pair must be equal

Triangle GPF ~ Triangle RPQ   AAA

end

I don't see any way to make these triangles similar except by stating the statement and why it is so. There really are no yes / no choices. If you get another answer, choose it.

JL/LE = 90/27                 Given

KL /LD = 90/27               Given

<JLK = <DLK                   Vertically opposite

Are the ratios equal       Yes  Then is the angle included Yes

Then the triangles are similar.

Are the ratios not equal  No then the triangles cannot be similar

Is the angle not included  Then similarity cannot be proved.

ΔJLK ≈ ΔDLK                  Equal Ratios and included angle === similarity
