Question

figure crow is similar to figure lynx.
identify corresponding parts of the figures.
:: ∠l :: ∠n :: ∠x :: ∠y :: \overline{ly} :: \overline{yn} :: \overline{nx} :: \overline{lx}
∠r corresponds to
∠w corresponds to
\overline{cw} corresponds to
\overline{ro} corresponds to

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the property of similar figures

When two figures are similar, their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in proportion. The order of the letters in the figure names (CROW and LYNX) gives the correspondence.

Step2: Find the corresponding angle for ∠R

In the name CROW and LYNX, the second - letter correspondence: R in CROW corresponds to Y in LYNX. So ∠R corresponds to ∠Y.

Step3: Find the corresponding angle for ∠W

In the name CROW and LYNX, the fourth - letter correspondence: W in CROW corresponds to X in LYNX. So ∠W corresponds to ∠X.

Step4: Find the corresponding side for \(\overline{CW}\)

In the name CROW and LYNX, for the side \(\overline{CW}\) (first and fourth letters of CROW), the corresponding side is \(\overline{LX}\) (first and fourth letters of LYNX).

Step5: Find the corresponding side for \(\overline{RO}\)

In the name CROW and LYNX, for the side \(\overline{RO}\) (second and third letters of CROW), the corresponding side is \(\overline{YN}\) (second and third letters of LYNX).

Answer:

∠R corresponds to \( \angle Y\)
∠W corresponds to \( \angle X\)
\(\overline{CW}\) corresponds to \( \overline{LX}\)
\(\overline{RO}\) corresponds to \( \overline{YN}\)
