Question

Is PQR~XYZ? if so, name which similarity postulate or theorem applies.

A. Similar- AA

B. Similar-SSS

C. Similar-SAS

D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The answer is D. Cannot be Determined.

Explanation:

Answer 2

D.Cannot be determined.

Explanation:

We are given that two triangle PQR and XYZ

Angle Q=95 degrees

Angle Y=95 degrees

PR=22 units

XZ=11 units

AA-Similarity postulate: Two angles of one triangle is equal to its corresponding angles of other triangle.Then, the two triangles are similar by AA postulate.

SSS similar: When three sides of two triangles are in the same ratio.

SAS similar: When two sides of two triangle are in the same ratio and one angle between two proportional sides of two triangles is congruent.

But we have not enough information by which we can determine triangle PQR and triangle XYZ is similar.

Hence, option D is true.

D.Cannot be determined.
