Question

The triangles shown are similar. Which similarity statement expresses the relationship between the two triangles?


Triangle P Q R. Angle P is 86 degrees, Q is 46 degrees, R is 48 degrees. Triangle W X Y. Angle W is 48 degrees, X is 86 degrees, Y is 46 degrees.
Triangle P R Q is similar to Triangle X W Y
Triangle P R Q is congruent to Triangle X W Y
Triangle P Q R is similar to Triangle W X Y
Triangle P Q R is congruent to triangle W X Y

Answer 1

Triangle PRQ is similar to triangle XWY.

Reason: Match corresponding angles by measure — P(86°) ↔ X(86°), R(48°) ↔ W(48°), Q(46°) ↔ Y(46°), so PRQ ∼ XWY.
