Question

Triangle X has two angles that measure 80° and 30°. Triangle Y has two angles

that measure 80° and 70°. Hannah says that triangles X and Y are not similar.
Jasmine says they are similar. Who is correct? Explain. HELPPP PLEASE

Answer 1

Jasmine is correct. The triangles are similar.

Explanation:

Triangle that have the same angle measurements are similar.

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180

Triangle x has angles that measure 80 and 30. That totals 110. The third angle must be 70 so that it adds up to 180.

Triangle Y has angels that measure 80 and 70. That adds up to 150, that means that its third angles must be 30

Both triangles have angle measurements to 80, 70, and 30 so they are similar.
