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

Here is a way to identify similar triangles: 1. Side Side Side If the measures of corresponding sides are known, then their proportionality can be calculated. If all three pairs are in proportion, then the triangles are similar.

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Hmm, so the triangle isn't similar.

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

I don't believe so

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

I agree with anime. If we set up three proportions (of division) \[\frac{ 32 }{ 56 }= \frac{ 40 }{ 70 }=\frac{ 48 }{ 84 }\] Now we just solve each of those and see if they all come out to be the same number

4/7 4/7 4/7

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Good work! They all are the same number, so they are similar triangles
