Question

The triangles below are NOT similar. Explain what is ‘wrong’ in each problem. Show work.

Answer 1

Answer:

here's the answer

yes..

the triangles are not similar..

because their corresponding side ratios are not equal..

they are of different measurements

Answer 2

Triangles

First triangle.

• The sides of ΔCRE are 18, 12 and 10.
• Ratio of sides = 18 : 12 : 10 = 9 : 6 : 5.

Second triangle.

• The sides of ΔBHP are 12, 8 and 5.
• Ratio of sides = 12 : 8 : 5.

Note:

• From the ratios of sides, we can conclude that the given two triangles can not be similar triangles.

• We could have concluded them to be similar if the ratio of their sides be the same.
