To determine

To prove:

The statement RTVT=RSVU if the sides RS and UV are parallel, RS¯∥UV¯.

Explanation

Definition:

AA:

If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

CSSTP:

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

Description:

Given that RS¯∥UV¯.

The given figure is shown below.

Figure

From the given figure, it is observed that the sides RS and UV are parallel, RS¯∥UV¯.

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.

Therefore, ∠R≅∠V and ∠S≅∠U.

The above mentioned AA definition, the two triangles RST and TUV are similar since the two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle. Hence, ΔRST∼ΔTUV

From the definition of CSSTP, corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional
