Question

Triangle 1 has an angle that measures 34°and an angle that measures 46°. Triangle 2 has angle that measures 34° and an angle that measures a°, where a≠46.
Based on the information, Jennifer claims that Triangle 1 and triangle 2 cannot be similar.
What value of a, in degrees, will refute Jennifer's claim?

Answer 1

Answer:

for a similar triangle the ratio of sides must be equal!!

Step-by-step explanation:

it is not similar because the angle which has 36°

in both triangle if you take the ratio it will give one but according to the given information it is said that the second angle of both triangle are not same but if we change both the angles in triangle to the it will be

triangle 2 = angle 1 = 36×2 = 72°

and angle 2 = 45×2 = 90°

so if you take the ratios of both the triangle now then you will get the ratios as angle 1 = 1/2 and angle 2 = 1/2 which proves it is Similar triangle

hope it helps

have a nice day : )
