Question

Determine whether the pair of figures are similar and explain why.

Answer 1

A. The two triangles are not similar because they have different side lengths
B. The two triangles are not similar because they have different angle measures
C. The two triangles are similar because their angles are proportional
D. The two triangles are similar because their sides are proportional

Answer 2

The two triangles are not similar because they have different side lengths

Answer 3

i agree, i think the answer is A

Answer 4

the question is asking about similar, not congruent

Answer 5

you need to compare ratio of sides to decide if they are similar or not

Answer 6

so answer A is incorrect ?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

i still dnt see why answer a is incorrect

Answer 9

i would have to say B then because that makes more sense !

Answer 10

B is also incorrect.

we need to some work here.

imagine you slide the small triangle to left, and place it over bigger triangle

Answer 11

so then its C

Answer 12

5 overlaps over 10
6 overlaps over 12
4 overlaps over 8

Answer 13

your goin by 2's right?

Answer 14

i wanna go with D .

Answer 15

now,

take the ratio of corresponding sides.

and see if u get SAME ratio

Answer 16

i agree i think its D

Answer 17

if you get same, then they are similar. else no

Answer 18

i just don't get how to do that .

Answer 19

5 overlaps over 10
6 overlaps over 12
4 overlaps over 8


take the ratio of corresponding sides,

5/10 = ?
6/12 = ?
4/8 = ?

Answer 20

they all equal 2

Answer 21

each one equals 5 so i think D fits well into it .

Answer 22

i'm sorry 0.5 but you get what i mean

Answer 23

since sides are proportional we can conclude that triangles are similar.

D is correct

Answer 24

thanks ! (:
