Question

Identify the correct explanation and the similarity statement for △THC and △PMA being similar. HELP ASAP!!!

Answer 1

(D)

Explanation:

From the given figure, consider ΔTHC and ΔPMA, then

Since CT is parallel to AP, then ∠TCH≅∠PAM by the corresponding angles and TH is parallel to PM, therefore ∠THC≅∠PMA by corresponding angles, therefore, by AA similarity rule, ΔTHC is similar to ΔPMA.

Hence, Option (D) gives the correct explanation.
