Question

A triangle has interior angles measuring 40° and 52°.

Which triangles are similar to this triangle?

Select True or False for each triangle.
Triangle True or False for each
Triangle True False
1 triangle with interior angles measuring 52° and 92° t or f
2 triangle with interior angles measuring 40° and 92° t or f
3 triangle with interior angles measuring 52° and 88° t or f
4 triangle with interior angles measuring 40° and 88° t or f

Answer 1

There are two correct answers. Numbers 3 4 are both correct. The sum of all angles in a triangle must add up to 180°. The two given where are 40° and 52°. If you subtract these from 180°, the remaining angle would be 88°. Choices 3 and4 both give two possible angles.
