TrianglesStep 1 of 3
Question
Triangle PQR has angles °, °, °. Triangle ABC has °, °, °. Write the correct similarity statement.
△PQR
P = 42° · Q = 90° · R = 48°
△ABC
A = 90° · B = 48° · C = 42°
Q ↔ A
P ↔ C
R ↔ B
Which vertices correspond because both angles are 90°?
What you will learn
Verify AA similarity and write the similarity statement using angle correspondence rather than visual orientation.
Common mistake to avoid
Triangles may be rotated or flipped, so matching left-to-left vertices can produce an incorrect similarity statement.
