There are several conditions where triangles can be proved similar:
AA - where two of the angles are same.
SAS - where two sides of a triangle compare to the corresponding sides in the other are in same proportion, and the angle in the middle are equal.
SSS - Where all sides in a triangle and the corresponding sides are in the same proportion.
In the case above, we can only use the method of SAS, as only two sides of the triangles are given.
<HMG = <JMK (vertically opposite angles)
HM/MK = 8/12 = 2/3
GM/MJ = 6/9 = 2/3
As the two sides of a triangle comparing to the corresponding sides in the other are in same proportion, and the angle in the middle are equal, the above triangles are similar, with the prove of SAS.
Therefore, the answer is C.yes by SAS.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
y = -1/2x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x - 3. The slope here is 2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, just flip the slope and change the sign.
slope = 2 or 2/1.....flip it.....1/2....change the sign...-1/2. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/2.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = - 1/2
(2,1)....x = 2 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y intercept
1 = -1/2(2) + b
1 = -1 + b
1 + 1 = b
2 = b
so ur equation is : y = -1/2x + 2 <===
and u can check it with ur points....(2,1)
y = 2x - 3
1 = 2(2) - 3
1 = 4 - 3
1 = 1 (yep...it checks out)
Answer:
180, 180, 148, 180, 148
Step-by-step explanation:
The two rules in play here are ...
- the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°
- the angles of a linear pair are supplementary (they total 180°)
__
The first of these rules answers the first two questions:
- interior angles total 180°
- angles 1, 3, 4 total 180°
We can subtract the measure of angle 1 from both sides of the previous equation to find the sum of the remaining two angles.
- angles 3 and 4 total 148°
The second rule answers the next question:
- angles 1 and 2 total 180°
As before, subtracting the value of angle 1 from both sides of the equation gives ...
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Of course, the subtraction property of equality comes into play, also. For some unknown, X, you have (in both cases) ...
X + 32° = 180°
X +32° -32° = 180° -32° . . . . . . subtraction property of equality
X = 148° . . . . . . . . simplify
In the first case, X is the sum of angles 3 and 4. In the second case, X is angle 2 only.
