Question

is it similar

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

how

Answer 3

if you use proportions....\[18/15 = 10/x\]

multiply 15 and 10, divide it by 18, and you dont get 12. therefore they are not similar

Answer 4

how you get 18/15 isn't should be 18/12

Answer 5

no that is how proportions work. one fraction is one triangle and the other is antoehr triangle

Answer 6

so it can be 18/10=15/12

Answer 7

look at first triangle -
whats the small side ?
whats the long side ?

Answer 8

In first triangle :-

small side = 15
long side = 18

right ?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

what about second triangle ?

Answer 11

In second triangle :-

small side = ?
long side = ?

Answer 12

ty for the medal @ganeshie8

Answer 13

small side=10
long side= 12
is it right that first long side of one triangle divide the long side of another triangle

Answer 14

thats right !

\[\large \dfrac{small}{small} = \dfrac{long}{long}\]
\[\large \dfrac{15}{10} = \dfrac{18}{12}\]

Answer 15

and since the included angle is congruent, both the triangles are SIMILAR !

Answer 16

but some time i get confuse because 18 is left side of first triangle and 12 is right side of triangle
is that matter

Answer 17

just like it

Answer 18

suppose you have two identical earrings,
does it matter if you rotate one earring by 90 degrees ?

both the earrings would still be congruent, right ?

Answer 19

yes :)

Answer 20

the second triangle in your picture was just flipped...
if u flip it again, then it will be easy to see the similarity i think

Answer 21

yes i got that thanks
