Seth is using the figure shown below to prove the Pythagorean Theorem using triangle similarity In the given triangle DEF. angle D is 90° and segment DG is perpendicular to segment EF
G
Part A: Identify a pair of similar triangles. (2 points)
Part B: Explain how you know the triangles from Part A are similar. (4 points)
Part C: If EG = 2 and EF = 8, find the length of segment ED. Show your work (4 points)

hi, i am not sure about this one but i think its d,

hope this !

y=mx+

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

it is a secret for it not to be compromised sorry
