state if the triangles in each pair are similar. If so State how you know they are similar and complete the similarity statement

fourth option

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ FTC = ∠ MTL ( vertical angles )

Since FC and ML are parallel, then

∠ FCT = ∠ TML (corresponding angles )

Thus

Δ TCF ~ Δ TML by the AA postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are similar.

We can prove by angle-angle similarity, in similarity, there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles in two triangles, this proves the two triangles are similar.

and are a pair of congruent corresponding angles.

and are a pair of congruent corresponding angles.

Therefore,

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
