Answer:
RS/VU=ST/UT and ∠S≅∠U
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The <u>Side-Angle-Side Similarity Theorem </u>states that: If two sides in one triangle are proportional to two sides in another triangle and the included angle in both are congruent, then the two triangles are similar
In this problem the included angle is
∠S≅∠U
therefore
side RS must be proportional to side VU and side ST must be proportional to side UT
so
RS/VU=ST/UT
<em>Verify</em>
substitute the given values
12/6=16/8
2=2 -----> is true
therefore
The two sides are proportional
(-2,-5)
The first goal with equations like these is to get one of the variables to go away. You can do that by adding/subtracting one equation from the other. Then you solve for the one variable. Then you plug that answer into one of the original equations and solve.
Answer:
76 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
find angle 5 by subtracting 76 from 180 to get 104 degrees
the find angle 7 by subtracting 104 from 180 to get 76
180-76 =104
180-104=76
