Question

By which theorem or postulate can the triangles be proven similar?


A.

AAS





B.

SSS Similarity





C.

AA Similarity





D.

The triangles can not be proven similar.

Answer 1

Well since we're given all the sides, which one do you think best matches that situation

Answer 2

B!!:)

Answer 3

bingo

Answer 4

the triangles aren't similar... and you have 3 measurement so compare the ratios of corresponding sides...

\[\frac{3}{9} = \frac{2}{6} \neq \frac{2}{4}\]

Answer 5

so it gona still be answer B

Answer 6

oops should read

\[\frac{3}{9} = \frac{2}{6} \neq \frac{1}{4}\]

Answer 7

for the SSS postulate the ratios of corresponding sides needs to be he same...

Answer 8

yes so its B right?

Answer 9

nope...

the ratio FH:BD

\[\frac{FH}{BD} = \frac{3}{9} ... or.... \frac{1}{3} \]

ratio GF:CD

\[\frac{GF}{CD} = \frac{2}{6}... or... \frac{1}{3}\]

now look at

ratio GH:CB

\[\frac{GH}{CB} = \frac{ 1}{4}\]

so are the ratios of the sides identical..?

Answer 10

no

Answer 11

so which answer do you now think it might be... seeing SSS doesn't work..?

Answer 12

C

Answer 13

well you have no angle measurements...

AAS means Angle Angle Side

AA means Angle Angle

hope this now helps...

Answer 14

so wats my answer

Answer 15

what choice is left...?

Answer 16

D

Answer 17

yes... thats the correct answer...

Answer 18

r us ure cause I cannot get this wrong

Answer 19

r u sure*

Answer 20

here is a website that explains... similarity postulates...

read it and see....

Answer 21

this page actually show you that the ratio of sides remains the same for all sides..
