Similarity, Right Triangle Trigonometry, and Proof: Part Two — Test
Question 15 • Mathematics II
Why is the information in the diagram enough to determine that triangle LMN approximates triangle PON using a rotation about point cap n and a dilation?
Answer
A
because angle MNL and angle ONP are congruent angles
B
because one pair of congruent corresponding angles is sufficient to determine similar triangles
C
because both triangles appear to be equilateral
D
because both triangles appear to be isosceles, angle MNL is congruent to angle ONP , and angle NOP is congruent to angle OPN
