SOLUTION:

Case: Proof of similar triangles

Given:

Two triangles

GI is parallel to NT

Required: To proof that triangles GIA and TNA are similar

Method:

Step 1:

First the angles at A are equal

Step 2: The angles at I and N are same. The angles at G and T are the same. Reason: This is because they are formed by alternate angles

Step 3: This is an AA condition.

Because all the angles per triangle are equal.

Final answer:

Therefore:


\Delta GIA\text{ = }\Delta TNA
