Question

candace wants to draw a triangle that is similar to the triangle shown. what could be the measure of one of the angles of candaces triangle? 70° 40° 140° 180°

Explanation:

Step1: Find the third - angle of the given triangle

The sum of angles in a triangle is $180^{\circ}$. Let the third - angle be $x$. Then $x=180-(105 + 35)=40^{\circ}$.

Step2: Recall the property of similar triangles

Similar triangles have equal corresponding angles. So the angles of Candace's similar triangle will be $35^{\circ}$, $40^{\circ}$, and $105^{\circ}$.

Answer:

$40^{\circ}$
