Question 8(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (03.02 MC) Decide whether the triangles are similar. If so, determine the appropriate expression to solve for x. Triangle 1 labels: A (53°), B, C (62°). Sides: AB=w, BC=x, AC=y. Triangle 2 labels: D (61°), E, F (53°). Sides: DE=z, EF=u, DF=r. The triangles are not similar; no expression for x can be found. ?ABC ~ ?DEF; x = r ? w/u ?ABC ~ ?EFD; x = r ? w/u ?ABC ~ ?EFD; x = r ? w/z
