Proof A M N

For each triangle pair below a. Sketch the pair and mark the information given by showing measurements and congruence. b. Determine whether or not the triangles are similar. If the triangles are indeed similar, do the following as well c. Name the theorem that guarantees that they are similar. (SSS, SAS, AA) d. Correctly name the similar triangles (remember order matters!) ( XXX YYY) PROFICIENCT: a. AB = 5, BC = 7, AC = 6, NQ = 7.5, MN = 10.5, MQ = 9 b. A = 25, C = 45, M = 45, N = 110 c. AB = 4, AC = 6, A = 63, NQ = 8, MN = 12, Q = 63 ADVANCED: d. AC = 5 m A = 40 m B = 58 PQ = 4.710 PR = 5.5 e. AB = 8.66, AC = 5, BC = 10, N = 60, NM = 9, NQ = 18 QR = 3.570
