Question
given the similar polygons in the image, which statement is true?
∠p ≅ ∠t
overline{pi} ≅ overline{at}
overline{ca} ≅ overline{gp}
∠c ≅ ∠g
Step1: Recall the property of similar polygons
Similar polygons have corresponding angles congruent.
Step2: Identify corresponding angles
In similar polygons, the angles with the same marking (in this case, the double - arc marking) are corresponding. In Figure 1, $\angle C$ has a double - arc marking, and in Figure 2, $\angle G$ has a double - arc marking. So, $\angle C$ and $\angle G$ are corresponding angles of the similar polygons.
Since similar polygons have corresponding angles congruent, $\angle C\cong\angle G$.
For the other options:
- $\angle P$ and $\angle T$: There is no indication (such as same arc markings) that they are corresponding angles.
- $\overline{PI}$ and $\overline{AT}$: They are not corresponding sides (the ratio of side lengths of similar polygons is constant, but these are not in the correct proportion relationship as corresponding sides).
- $\overline{CA}$ and $\overline{GP}$: They are not corresponding sides (again, no proportion relationship based on the side lengths of the similar polygons).
