Question

Help please. Determine whether the triangles are similar (Circle yes or no). If similar, write a similarity statement and the theorem or postulate that justifies your answer.

Answer 1

do u still need help with this?

Answer 2

the first one is yes
the second one is if u swich 18 and put it up by 17 yes
and the third one if u switch 16 and 18 it will be no

Answer 3

so first one is yes
the second one is yes
and the third one is no
(I think lol)

Answer 4

@johnweldon1993 am i right?

Answer 5

I'm pretty sure the 4 I need help with are all yes, thought 14 and 19 were no but I was wrong.

Answer 6

okay so i was wrong? good to know

Answer 7

so was i right or wrong?

Answer 8

Let me rethink that before putting it back up...lol

Answer 9

okay

Answer 10

lol

Answer 11

Okidokie, still not sure how BAE is out of order, thought B was where a triangle started so maybe BEA?

Answer 12

who said my name

Answer 13

what did you need

Answer 14

um I was called?

Answer 15

So the angles, look at the ANGLES of 14 and 19. Tell me is the two triangles in 14 have the same angle

Answer 16

They do don't they? I thought they were a no but apparently they're yes?

Answer 17

They don't. The angle of the triangle to the right is slightly more obtuse compared to the triangle on the left

Answer 18

Yeah, that's what I thought but I got it returned with the two marked off to redo :/

Answer 19

Really? Maybe you're teacher is wrong. Most teachers are xD

Answer 20

Guess so lol, what did I do wrong with the order of the second triangle in #18? I had BAE

Answer 21

The order? CBD? Looks right to me! althought it might start as BDC

Answer 22

The one next to CBD would be BAE or BEA?

Answer 23

BAE

Answer 24

Okay sorry last one! The second one on #17 next to BCD would it be BEA? had BAE but was marked wrong.

Answer 25

It might be BEA but it also looks like BAE /)_-

Answer 26

Yep that's what I thought lol, thank you for your help.

Answer 27

I didn't help all that much, sorry D:

Answer 28

they are similar only if their angles match

Answer 29

Yeah, need help with #14 and #19 thought they were no apparently they're a yes?

Answer 30

or if the sides are all proportional

Answer 31

@primeralph

Answer 32

Need help with #14 and #19 (first and last one)

Answer 33

19: BCD, ACE,
By AAA

Answer 34

Should I put AA similarity?

Answer 35

Reason I ask is because I had AAA for 16 and 17 and they got corrected to AA similarity @primeralph

Answer 36

@ybarrap

Answer 37

Stuck on #14 and #19

Answer 38

#14 Triangles NOT Similar:

They are not similar because
$$
\cfrac{15}{20}\ne\cfrac{9}{9+7}
$$
Does this make sense?
