Question

State whether the triangles are similar. If so, write a similarity statement and the postulate or theorem you used.
(1 point)
OMN ~ OJK; SSS ~
OMN ~ OJK; SAS ~
OMN ~ JKO; SAS ~
The triangles are not similar.

Answer 1

look at the proportions of the sides since they make have the same angle. side1 Little triangle / side 1Big Triangle = side 2 little triangle / side 2 of big triangle.

Answer 2

(24+8)/24 = (10+30)/30. if not true then not similar.

Answer 3

I'm not trying to solve it, im trying to find something else...

Answer 4

Two triangles are similar if and only if the corresponding sides are in proportion and the corresponding angles are congruent.

Answer 5

...so which one is it?

Answer 6

i really dont know sorry @hero

Answer 7

then why'd you even comment?

Answer 8

Side angle Side

Answer 9

okay, that limits it down..

Answer 10

It should be easy after that. Just start with the same letter.

Answer 11

oh,, would it be B?

Answer 12

I think so. It looks right.

Answer 13

Is that correct?

Answer 14

I have to get this right.

Answer 15

it better be right.
@Directrix what do you think?

Answer 16

yes its correct.

Answer 17

what luis rivera did?

Answer 18

cocky, much?

Answer 19

all your saying is one triangle is similar to the other and your identifying the triangle by the letters in order. this is true by Side Angle Side. If an angle of one triangle is congruent to the corresponding angle of another triangle and the lengths of the sides including these angles are in proportion, the triangles are similar.

Answer 20

Oh my gosh.. Is it SSS or SAS? I had asked you if what Luis said was correct or not.

Answer 21

I'm just now reading the problem.

Answer 22

Thanks @Directrix

Answer 23

Here's the theorem we need. Now for the correspondence of vertices. I need to see what you put.

Answer 24

SAS

Answer 25

Side angle Side

Answer 26

Is it SAS? @Directrix

Answer 27

> oh,, would it be B?
YES
