Medal for best answer!!!!!!!!! The two triangles below are similar. What is the similarity ratio of ΔXYZ to ΔABC?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

1:2 2:1 3:2 2:3

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

I think it is 3.2 but not sure

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Does someone know this?

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

3.2 is the answer I Took this question hope it helps

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Did you get it right? Are you in Flvs?

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

I'm in Rai online School Arizona

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Side XZ corresponds to side AC. Side XZ is 10, and side AC is 15. It asks to compare XYZ to ABC, so you can compare their corresponding sides. 10:15 simplifies to 2:3

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Wait so now its 2.3?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

I think 3.2 is the right one

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

|dw:1463101701709:dw| Do you agree with this? I rotated triangle ABC

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Oops forgot sides |dw:1463101788560:dw|

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Yes I agree but what was the answr when you took the actual quiz?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

What do you mean by actual quiz

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

well whats the answer??

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Well which is smaller, triangle XYZ or ABC?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

xyz

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

3.2 right?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Yes, XYZ is smaller. The question asks to compare XYZ, which is the smaller triangle, to ABC, which is the larger triangle. So the ratio can't be 3:2 because that would bean that you're saying XYZ is larger

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

I looked up in open study someone took this quiz and he said that he choose 2.3 and got it wrong

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Well, you're the one doing the problem. Use your own judgement. What part of what I said doesn't make sense? And can you give me a link to that question?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Well that question asks to compare triangle ABC to XYZ, and your question tells you to compare XYZ to ABC

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

I dont know what to pick

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Ill go with 2.3

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

I got it right thank you!
