In triangle UVW, the measure of angle WUV is 50° and the measure of angle UVW is 31°. In triangle XYZ, the measure of angle ZXY is 50° and the measure of angle YZX is 99°. Determine how triangles UVW and XYZ can be shown to be similar.

Question

A. Since WUV ZXY and VWU YZX, the triangles are similar by angle-angle.

B. Since VWU YZX and UW = YZ, the triangles are similar by angle-angle.

C. Since WUV ZXY and VWU XYZ, the triangles are similar by angle-angle.

D. Since WUV ZXY and UW = XY, the triangles are similar by angle-side.

Answer 1

A. Since WUV ≅ ZXY and VWU ≅ YZX, the triangles are similar by angle-angle.
