Question

2. The triangles are similar. write a similarity statement for the triangles.

A. Triangle JKL ~ Triangle NPM

B. Triangle JKL~ Triagle PNM

C. Triangle JKL~ Triangle MNP

D. Triangle JKL~ Triangle PMN

Answer 1

C. Triangle JKL~Triangle MNP because since when you wrote the first part of the solution you began with the corner that had an arc so you have to begin with the corner that has an arc in the second part of the solution.

Answer 2

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

In triangle JKL and MNP,

`\angle J=\angle M` (Given)

`\angle L=\angle P=90^(\circ)` (Given)

According to AA property of similar triangle, two triangles are similar if their two corresponding angles are same.

Here, J is corresponding angle of M, K is corresponding angle of N and L is corresponding angle of P.

Using AA property of similar triangles,

`\triangle JKL\sim \triangle MNP`

Therefore the correct option is C.
