Problema Solution

Can two triangles have all pairs of corresponding angles in proportion? Explain.

Answer provided by our tutors

no, total sum of the angles is always 180 degrees


x +y +z = 180

 

If we have a 90-45-45 triangle and increase one of the 45-degree angles then one or both of the other angles must decrease. This means in no scenario can corresponding angles increase or decrease together, unlike the sides of a triangle.
