Question

  1. the given triangles are similar. lets try that again fill in the blanks to match the corresponding sides. yx corresponds to _ xw corresponds to _ wy corresponds to _

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the similarity of triangles

Since the triangles are similar, their corresponding angles are equal.

  • In \(\triangle JKI\) and \(\triangle YXW\), \(\angle J=\angle Y\), \(\angle K=\angle X\), \(\angle I=\angle W\)

Step2: Match the corresponding sides

  • For side \(YX\):
  • In \(\triangle YXW\), side \(YX\) is opposite to \(\angle W\). In \(\triangle JKI\), side \(JK\) is opposite to \(\angle I\). Since \(\angle I = \angle W\), \(YX\) corresponds to \(JK\)
  • For side \(XW\):
  • In \(\triangle YXW\), side \(XW\) is opposite to \(\angle Y\). In \(\triangle JKI\), side \(KI\) is opposite to \(\angle J\). Since \(\angle Y=\angle J\), \(XW\) corresponds to \(KI\)
  • For side \(WY\):
  • In \(\triangle YXW\), side \(WY\) is opposite to \(\angle X\). In \(\triangle JKI\), side \(JI\) is opposite to \(\angle K\). Since \(\angle X = \angle K\), \(WY\) corresponds to \(JI\)

Answer:

\(YX\) corresponds to \(JK\), \(XW\) corresponds to \(KI\), \(WY\) corresponds to \(JI\)
