Mina says triangle A with angles

measuring 34° and 57° is similar to

triangle B with angles measuring 57°

and 89º. Is Mina correct?


Answer :

Answer:

Yes, Mina is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the triangles be A and B

Given

Triangle A:

[tex]Angles = 34, 57[/tex]

Triangle B:

[tex]Angles = 89, 57[/tex]

Required

Is Mina's claim correct?

First, we calculate the third angle in both triangles.

For A:

[tex]Third\ Angle = 180 - 34 - 57[/tex]

[tex]Third\ Angle = 89[/tex]

For B:

[tex]Third\ Angle = 180- 89 - 57[/tex]

[tex]Third\ Angle = 34[/tex]

For triangle A, the angles are: 34, 57 and 89

For triangle B, the angles are: 34, 57 and 89

Since both triangles have the same angles, then by the postulate of AAA (Angle-Angle-Angle), the triangles are similar.
