Question

two similar triangles have a scale factor 5:3 which statement regarding the

two triangles is true?

a) The ratio of their perimeters is 15:1

b) Their altitudes have a ratio 25:15

c) Their medians have a ratio 10:4​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is (b).

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles: Triangles with the same shape but different sizes are said to be similar triangles. Squares with any side length and all equilateral triangles are examples of related objects. In other words, if two triangles are similar, their corresponding sides are proportionately equal and their corresponding angles are congruent.

Given: two similar triangles have a scale factor $5:3$

To find: The correct option.

Solution:

For two triangle similar to each other with $5:3,$ then

ratio of their respective attitude is $25:15=5:3$  (this ratio is dividing by $5$).

Therefore, b) Their altitudes have a ratio $25:15$ is the right answer.
