Question

In a triangle ABC, AB = 2.2 cm, BC = 1.5 cm and AC = 2.3 cm. In triangle XYZ,

XY = 4.4 cm, YZ = 3 cm and XZ = 4.6 cm. Find the ratio AB : XY, BC : YZ, AC : XZ.

Are the lengths of corresponding sides of ΔABC and ΔXYZ are in proportion?

[Hint : Any two triangles are said to be in proportion, if their corresponding sides are in the

same ratio]

Answer 1

hi friend ✋
Good morning

your answer is :-

AB/XY = 2.2/4.4 = 1/2

BC/YZ = 1.5/3.0 = 1/2

AC/XZ = 2.3/4.6 = 1/2

therefore, 1/2 = AB/XY = BC/YZ = AC/XZ

Therefore, their corresponding sides are in same ratio.

Therefore two triangles are similar and proportional.

hope it helps

Answer 2

1/2

All simplest form are 1/2
