State whether the triangles are similar. If so, write a similarity statement and the postulate or theorem you used. https://www.connexus.com/content/media/459431-3292011-20058-PM-200370649/res00000/ppg/examview/S_GEOMB_07_02_semester_exam/mc005-1.jpg

Answer 1

Please help.

Answer 2

Triangles OKJ and ONM are similar

Answer 3

this is because corresponding sides are in same ratio:
OJ:OM = OK:ON i e
24:32 = 18:24

Answer 4

Would the postulate be sss?

Answer 5

i'm not sure - i haven't come across that convention - i'm from uk.
but doesn't sss mean 3 equal sides - that is congruent triangles.
similar triangles are not congruent - they have the same shape but different size.
