Question

Look at the figure below:

Triangle NPM has the measure of angle NPM equal to 50 degrees. T is a point on side PM. Points N and T are joined by a straight

Make a two-column proof showing statements and reasons to prove that triangle NMT is similar to triangle PMN

Answer 1

Got 100% on the test

Explanation:

We have to prove that triangle NMT is similar to triangle PMN

Statement: Angle NPT = 50, Angle TNM = 50 Reason: Given

Statement: Angle NPT equals Angle TNM Reason: Given

Statement: Angle M is congruent to Angle M Reason: Reflexive property of congruence

Statement: NM = NM Reasom: Reflexive property of equality

Statement:Therefore ΔNMT is similar to ΔPMN

Reason: AA Similiraty

Answer 2

Angle 50 and common side, in triangle MNT the sum of angles m and t is 130. In triangle PMN the sum of angles n, m is 130
