Oh god.... Will I get marked down for writing this as my reason for similar triangles.

I showed 2 angles were equal and then

I said:

therefore, triangle is similar to triangle (two angles are equal)

Will I be marked down .????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????/

isn't it right? if you showed that two angles are equal...then of course the triangles are similar (as they are equiangular)

I'm not sure... erm. when 2 angles are the same you sorta assume the other one in the same too but I'm not sure if you have to write that.
In my ans i said the angle is the same because angle sum of triangle = 180

Maybe you will maybe you wont, up to the marking criteria i guess.

found both angles are equal, then i went further and said the last two pair angle are equal as they are equanglur (derp spelling )

relax you wont be marked down..... all you need to prove is that 2 angles are equal cause logically the third angle will also be equal (due to angle sum of triangle)...thats enough for similarity

I don't think you have to specifically write "equiangular". two angles are equal seems fine. "equiangular" is like the shortened form for it

you must write equiangular, its the name of the proof of similarity

Oh crap. Now that I think about it.. I wrote "as all angles are the same, they are similar" but I dont think I wrote equiangular.

Wait a second.. doesn't equilangular mean all angles are the same within the triangle? Like 60degrees each?

wth bro. equiangluar is the right reason. 'two angles are equal' wtf is that. if you wrote AAA they'd probably give you it, considering its only 2u they wnt really care at al.
