Question

In ABC, m In XYZ, m

Include in Your Answer:

What is m What is m Is it possible for these two triangles to be similar? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Angle C= 79 degrees

Angle X= 62 degrees

Explanation:

Answer 2

Angle C= 79 degrees

Angle X= 62 degrees

Yes, the two triangles are similar because all the angles are congruent. The requirement for two triangles to be similar is if two corresponding angles are equal.

Explanation:

A triangle is 180 degrees.

So adding the angles of triangle ABC, 62+39=101

180-101=79, so angle c is 79 degrees

Adding the angles of triangle XYZ, 39+79=118

180-118=62, so angle x is 62 degrees
