Triangles R S T and V U T are connected at point T. Angles R S T and V U T are right angles. The length of side R S is 12 and the length of side S T is 16. The length of side T U is 8 and the length of U V is 6. Which statements can be concluded from the diagram and used to prove that the triangles are similar by the SAS similarity theorem? StartFraction R S Over V U EndFraction = StartFraction S T Over U T EndFraction and angle S is-congruent-to angle U StartFraction R S Over V U EndFraction = StartFraction S T Over U T EndFraction = StartFraction R T Over V T EndFraction StartFraction R S Over V U EndFraction = StartFraction T U Over T S EndFraction and angle S is-congruent-to angle U StartFraction R S Over V U EndFraction = StartFraction T U Over T S EndFraction = StartFraction R T Over V T EndFraction

Answer:

StartFraction R S Over V U EndFraction = StartFraction S T Over U T EndFraction and angle S is-congruent-to angle U

Explanation:

The expression below means RS/VU = ST/UT

See the attachment for better explanation.

Triangles R S T and V U T are connected at point T. Angles R S T and V U T are right-example-1
