Question

Determine whether ΔABC ~ ΔFDE. If they are similar, what postulate or theorem proves their similarity?



Angle-Angle Similarity Postulate

Similarity cannot be determined.

Side-Angle-Side Similarity Postulate

Side-Side-Side Similarity Postulate

Answer 1

@ganeshie8 what do you think?

Answer 2

tell me first wat do u think :)

Answer 3

i would say it was side angle side but the sides given are not the same

Answer 4

both have same angle 112. but the first triangle is SSA

Answer 5

where as second triangle is SAS

Answer 6

order itself is not matching between both the triangles. SO you cannot determine the similarity !

Answer 7

does that make some sense

Answer 8

ya i got it thankyou
can you help me with more q?

Answer 9

sure :) u seem to be trying to learn things.... so why not :D

Answer 10

In the figure, ΔABC ~ ΔDEF. Solve for x.



x = 16.36

x = 55

x = 2.2

x = 66

Answer 11

this one i have no idea

Answer 12

when triangles are similar, ratio of sides is equal

Answer 13

look at the first lil triangle

Answer 14

ratio of sides = \(\large \frac{11}{6}\)

Answer 15

In the second triangle,

ratio of sides = \(\large \frac{x}{30}\)

Answer 16

since triangles are similar, both ratios equal eachother

Answer 17

would be 55

Answer 18

\(\large \frac{11}{6} = \large \frac{x}{30}\)

Answer 19

yes x = 55! good work !

Answer 20

AB II DE. Solve for x.



x = 19

x = 12

x = 9

x = 16

Answer 21

setup a proportion. the ratio of segments of sides equal each other

Answer 22

\(\large \frac{x-3}{12} =\frac{4}{3}\)

Answer 23

solve x

Answer 24

can u ? :)

Answer 25

ummm i did something wrong lol because what i got is not one of the options lol

Answer 26

\(\large \frac{x-3}{12} =\frac{4}{3}\)

Answer 27

cross multiply

Answer 28

\(3(x-3) = 4(12)\)

Answer 29

\(x-3 = 4(4)\)

Answer 30

\(x-3 = 16\)

Answer 31

\(x = 19\)

Answer 32

oh ok thankyou

Answer 33

np :)
