Question

In the figure below, BAC~QPR. Use this information and the diagram below to name the corresponding parts of the similar triangles

Answer 1

a.

∠A is the right angle of the triangle ABC, so the corresponding angle is ∠P, which is the right angle of the triangle PQR.

b.

BC is the hypotenuse of the triangle ABC, so the corresponding side is QR, which is the hypotenuse of the triangle PQR.

c.

∠C is the smaller angle of the triangle ABC, so the corresponding angle is ∠R.

d.

∠Q is the bigger angle of the triangle PQR, so the corresponding angle is ∠B.

e.

PQ is the smaller leg of the triangle PQR, so the corresponding side is AB.
