Math Problem Statement
Solution
The two triangles in the image, and , are similar based on angle-angle (AA) similarity. They have corresponding angles of 76°, 76°, and 28°, which are equal in both triangles. This information allows us to set up a similarity statement by matching the vertices of each triangle in corresponding order.
The similarity statement for these triangles would be:
Here, each vertex corresponds to the angle in each triangle as follows:
- (28°) corresponds to (28°),
- (76°) corresponds to (76°), and
- (76°) corresponds to (76°).
