Question

Tell whether the triangles are similar. Explain.

  1. Yes, because x = 31
  2. Yes, because the triangles have one congruent angle
  3. No because x = 31, which means the triangles only have one congruent angle.
  4. They are both purple

The correct answer is: No because x = 31, which means the triangles only have one congruent angle.


    No because x = 31 and y=69 which means the triangles only have one congruent angle.
    by angle sum property of a triangle we can calculate the values of x and y :-
    x+64+85=180
    x=31
    y+85+26=180
    y=69
    Now by comparing both triangles , we can say that 
    only 1 angle is congruent that's why triangles are not similar
