Medal for best answer!!!!!!!!! The two triangles below are similar. What is the similarity ratio of ΔXYZ to ΔABC?
1:2 2:1 3:2 2:3
I think it is 3.2 but not sure
Does someone know this?
3.2 is the answer I Took this question hope it helps
Did you get it right? Are you in Flvs?
I'm in Rai online School Arizona
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
Wait so now its 2.3?
I think 3.2 is the right one
|dw:1463101701709:dw| Do you agree with this? I rotated triangle ABC
Oops forgot sides |dw:1463101788560:dw|
Yes I agree but what was the answr when you took the actual quiz?
What do you mean by actual quiz
well whats the answer??
Well which is smaller, triangle XYZ or ABC?
xyz
3.2 right?
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
I looked up in open study someone took this quiz and he said that he choose 2.3 and got it wrong
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?
Well that question asks to compare triangle ABC to XYZ, and your question tells you to compare XYZ to ABC
I dont know what to pick
Ill go with 2.3
I got it right thank you!
