Question

Triangle XYZ has been dilated to form triangle LMN. What is the least amount of information needed to prove the two triangles are similar?

Two pairs of corresponding angles and one pair of corresponding sides

Two pairs of corresponding sides and one pair of corresponding angles

Two pairs of corresponding angles

Two pairs of corresponding sides

Answer 1

@jigglypuff314 help

Answer 2

If 2 corresponding angles are equal the 3rd pair has to be equal as well thus all the angles are the same and the 2 triangles are similar

Answer 3

The First one?

Answer 4

Did I say a word about sides?

Answer 12

Oh I get it thanks

Answer 13

Can u guys help me with the last one I posted

Answer 14

dilation : when a figure is made larger or smaller
AA : when there are two corresponding congruent angles
corresponding parts: located in the same position
similar: has same shape but is different sized
scale model: a copy that can be larger or smaller
