crispyrat:

so what are the similarity properties you have?

hhanan:

none

crispyrat:

? so two triangles are similar if their angles are the same and their sides are proportional so lets go through this one by one can u find if the sides is proptional or not?

hhanan:

no

crispyrat:

ok so is 8:12 the same as 10:15?

crispyrat:

if u simplfy?

hhanan:

no

crispyrat:

actually yes 8/4:12/4=2:3 and then 10/5:15/5=2:3 so they are similar.

crispyrat:

are the angles the same? theres no real way to confirm but do they look similar?

crispyrat:

@AZ im not so sure about what i told them, can you check?

Natalija:

@crispyrat you r right because the simplified way is the same the triangles are similar but they r not draw to scale

JamesTDG:

I forgot what the property was, but if you divided the smaller one by 2 and then divide the larger one by each according side of the divided smaller one, you can figure out the scale factor.
