One angle of a triangle measures 24º more than the smallest angle in the triangle. The third angle measures twice the measure of the
smallest angle.
What is the measure of the smallest angle?

Will give are given that xy is parallel to zw. if xz is a transversal that intercepts xy and zw, angle angle alternate interior angles. since xy is parallel to zw, we know that these angles are we also know that angle xvy and angle zvw are , and thus congruent. we can conclude that △xyv ~ △zwv using the similarity theorem.

Which best explains why this triangle is or is not a right triangle ?
