Answer 1

(with an explanation, please)

Answer 2

\[14 + \frac{7}{2}=x\]
\[x\div 14 =y\]
\[15\div 12 = z\]
If\[y = z\]Then they are similar.

Answer 3

Does that make sense?

Answer 4

Where did you get the\[\frac{ 7 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 5

\[3.5 = \frac{7}{2}\]

Answer 6

Okay, now I see why

Answer 7

Can you do the math from there?

Answer 8

Yeah
I got them as similar, with y and z as 1 1/4

Answer 9

Correct!

Answer 10

And I'm assuming that's through SAS (side-angle-side)

Answer 11

Because isn't C congruent for both of the triangles?

Answer 12

It is indeed.

Answer 13

Alright, thanks

Answer 14

No problem!
