Explain why the SAS Similarity Theorem cannot be used to show triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

They may be similar but not congruent. They may have different angles

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

or they have different side length so SAS is not valid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm still a little confused. The scale factor is 3/2 for both of them. Doesn't that mean that their sides are similar? @HELP!!!!

OpenStudy (precal):

For Side Angle Side, the angle has to be in between the sides|dw:1407889115620:dw|

OpenStudy (precal):

the angle has to be in between the 2 given sides, you don't have that

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

You are not give the length of line AC and DF

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

*given

OpenStudy (precal):

that is basically what I said

OpenStudy (help!!!!):
