The question: Use flowcharts to determine if each of the triangle pairs is similar. Do not forget your reasons! Note: figures not necessarily drawn to scale.

Respuesta :

First, we need to note the given properties:

Side TS is equal to side RS:

[tex]TS=RS[/tex]

Also, side WS is equal to side XS:

[tex]WS=XS[/tex]

And our third given information is that angle ∠WSX is equal to ∠TSR, becuase they are vertical angles.

From this, we can also find the if the proportions are equal, in this case they are, because:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{WS}{TS}=\frac{XS}{RS}=\frac{4}{2} \\ \frac{WS}{TS}=\frac{XS}{RS}=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, we have two similar sides and 1 equal angle in the middle of them.

The triangle is SAS (Side angle side).

The flow chart is:
