Question

Part I: Create two similar triangles. Label your triangles and write the corresponding similarity statement. Describe, using complete sentences, the side lengths of the two triangles you created.

Part II: Explain, using complete sentences, why these triangles are similar.

Note: The sides of the triangles don’t need to be measured; they can be made up as long as the two triangles are similar.

Answer 1

please somebody help me i am begging

Answer 2

make a triangle that is 1 inch on two sides, and 2 inches on the base. then, make another triangle that has 2 inches on two sides, and four inches on the base. the second triangle is double the first triangle.

Answer 3

Similar triangles always have congruent corresponding angles. So draw a two triangles that do not.

Answer 4

so that would be my answer

Answer 5

Graphical answers as opposed to textual answers are not supported by this system.
Two triangles are similar when the ratio of the lengths of the sides of one of the triangles is the same as the ratios of the sides of the other triangle.
Two triangles are similar when it is possible to pair up each of the angles of one triangle with the angles in the other triangle.
Suppose I created a triangle by creating a line segment of length two. I then took a compass set to three units and struck an arc about one end of the line segment.. Then reset the compass to four units and struck an arc that intersects with the earlier arc. Then with a straight edge connect the intersection of the two arcs to the ends of the original line segment.

In a similar way I could create a triangle with sides of lengths four, five and six.

These two triangles are not similar because the ratios of the lengths of the sides are not able to be paired up.

Answer 6

how could the triangles be similar
