i will gladly give brainliest :) Which method and additional information would prove ΔONP and ΔMNL similar by the AA similarity postulate?

A. Use a rigid transformation to prove ∠NOP ≅ ∠NML.

B. Use a rigid transformation to prove ∠NOP ≅ ∠ONP.

C. Use rigid and nonrigid transformations to prove segment LN over segment ON = segment PN over segment MN.

D. Use rigid and nonrigid transformations to prove segment LM over segment ON = segment PN over segment MN.

Similar triangles may or may not be congruent.

The additional information to prove ΔONP and ΔMNL are similar by AA similarity postulate is (a) Use a rigid transformation to prove ∠NOP ≅ ∠NML.

From the question, we have:

--- ONP and MNL are similar triangles

Because the similarities of the triangles are to be proved by AA postulate, the following angles must be corresponding and congruent

Option (b) is incorrect because angles NOP and ONP are not corresponding angles

Options (c) and (d) are incorrect, because they prove the similarities by lines segments.

Hence, the correct option is (a).

This is so because, it proves the similarities of both triangles by using corresponding angles.

Given:

ΔONP and ΔMNL.

To find:

The method and additional information that will prove ΔONP and ΔMNL similar by the AA similarity postulate?

Solution:

According to AA similarity postulate, two triangles are similar if their two corresponding angles are congruent.

In ΔONP and ΔMNL,

      (Vertically opposite angles)

To prove ΔONP and ΔMNL similar by the AA similarity postulate, we need one more pair of corresponding congruent angles.

Using a rigid transformation, we can prove

Since two corresponding angles are congruent in ΔONP and ΔMNL, therefore,

       (AA postulate)

Therefore, the correct option is A.

step-by-step explanation:

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
