The theorem which Abdul can use to determine the two triangles are similar is the corresponding angles theorem.
What is Corresponding Angles theorem?
The Corresponding Angles theorem states that, when a transversal intersects or cuts the lines which are parallel to each other, then the corresponding angles are congruent.
Abdul is making a map of his neighborhood. He knows the following information:
- His home, the middle school, and high school are all on the same street.
- His home, the elementary school, and his friend's house are on the same street.
- The angle between the elementary school, middle school, and his home is congruent to the angle between his friend's house, the high school, and his home. Thus,
[tex]\angle C\cong \angle E[/tex]
A street map is attached below. The streets form a triangle comprised of the locations of home, friend's house, and the high school. In this diagram, DE and BC are parallel. Thus,
[tex]DE||BC[/tex]
By the property of corresponding angles theorem, angle B and angle D are congurent.
Thus, the theorem which Abdul can use to determine the two triangles are similar is the corresponding angles theorem.
