b: Answers vary. Once all the angles have been found, state that two pairs of
corresponding angles have equal measure, such as m∠A = m∠D and m∠B = m∠E to
reach the conclusion that ΔABC ~ ΔDEC by AA ~ or AC = BC and DC = EC, so
DC = EC and m∠ACB = m∠DCE therefore ΔABC ~ ΔDEC by SAS ~.

c: They are both correct. Since both triangles are isosceles, we cannot tell if one is the
reflection or the rotation of the other (after dilation).

equal.

Lesson 5.3.2
5-89. They must have equal length. Since a side opposite a larger angle must be longer than a
side opposite a smaller angle, sides opposite equal angles must be the same length.

approximately 35.45º, while the angle opposite the side of length 17 is approximately
99.55°.
5-127. x ≈ 11.3 units; Methods include using the Pythagorean Theorem to set up the equation
x2 + x2 = 162, using the 45°-45°-90° triangle shortcut to divide 16 by 2 , or to use sine
or cosine to solve using a trigonometric ratio.
