3. Similar Triangles
Sign In
Start by identifying the corresponding vertices on the graph.
Angles: ∠F ≅ ∠M, ∠G ≅ ∠P, ∠H ≅ ∠Q, ∠J ≅ ∠S
Sides: FG/MP = GH/PQ = HJ/QS = JF/SM
Two polygons are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and if the lengths of the corresponding sides are proportional. We are given that FGHJ ~ MPQS.
