Question

Which pair of triangles MUST be similar?

A. Triangle 5 has a 25 degree angle and a 75 degree angle. Triangle 6 has a 25 degree angle and a 70 degree angle.

B. Triangles 1 and 2 each have a 40 degree angle.

C. Triangle 7 has a 40 degree angle and a 35 degree angle. Triangle 8 has a 40 degree angle and a 105 degree angle.

D.Triangles 3 and 4 are both scalene. Each have a 65 degree angle.

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

The total measurement of a triangle is 180

Triangle 7 has a 40 degree angle and 35 degree angle.

40+35=75

180-75=105

Triangle 8 has the same angle that is 40 degrees and 105. And if you do the same math, you would get 35 for the missing angle of triangle 8
