are there options to this question?

shaleiah · Answer

No

563blackghost · Answer

They are similar because they are both right triangles just scaled differently just prove the triangle by SAS....

shaleiah · Answer

I'm shocked

563blackghost · Answer

i feel like i said that rudely...

shaleiah · Answer

Trust me the professors on OS speak more rudely.

563blackghost · Answer

is there a choice to say they are not similar on your assessment?

shaleiah · Answer

1. State if the triangles in each pair are similar.
2. If so, complete the similarity statement.

563blackghost · Answer

Hmmm well I took the base of the two triangles which is $\large{63}$ and $\large{19}$ in which I divided them both....

$\Huge{\frac{63}{19}=3.3157.....}$

And then I took the two known hypotenuses and divided those by each other...

$\Huge{\frac{98}{27}=3.6296...}$ 

$\Huge\color{red}{3.6296..... \neq 3.3157....}$

So I would say not similar.....since they are not scaled the same...

shaleiah · Answer

I agree

563blackghost · Answer

^^ so it will be determined as not similar
