Is vuw similar to vxy? if yes, explain how you know. if no, explain why not.

Yes, because m<UVW is congruent to m<XVY and m<VUW is congruent to m<VXY

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

so

In this problem

we know that

the measure of angle VXY is equal to

-----> by supplementary angles

therefore

Remember that

m<UVW=m<XVY -----> is the same vertex

therefore

Triangles VUW and VXY are similar by AAA Similarity Theorem ( the three angles are congruent)

step-by-step explanation:

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
