1. Determine if the triangles are similar or not. If they are similar, explain by showing any congruent

angles and/or proportional sides. State which similarity theorem (AA , SAS-, SSS ) proves the

triangles are similar. If the triangles are not similar, write "NOT SIMILAR" and explain.

Circle the correct answer: Not Similar, AA, SAS, SSS-

Complete the similarity statement if appropriate: ABC-

What is your reasoning for your answer(8) above?

The attached triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS

Similar triangles

Triangles may be similar, congruent or not; this depends on the relationship between both triangles

Equivalent ratio

For two or more triangles to be similar, then the corresponding sides of the triangles must have an equivalent ratio.

Take for instance, the attached triangle.

The triangles are similar, and the equivalent ratio (k) is calculated as follows:

[tex]k =\frac{4}{8} = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{8}{16}[/tex]

Each quotient would result in 0.5.

So, we have:

[tex]k = 0.5[/tex]

This means that, the triangles are similar by SSS
