Choose the correct answer.
This problem involves identifying the correct similarity ratio of triangles based on given line segments. We have triangle with line segments and , and triangle with line segments and , where corresponding side lengths of similar triangles should satisfy proportional relationships.
First, recognize that for similar triangles, the ratio of corresponding sides should be equal. If triangles and are similar, the segments would meet certain proportional criteria. The possible ratios could be formed by recognizing:
Thus, the correct setup for these segments should reflect that:
By evaluating each choice given, the correct answer would align with this reasoning. Therefore, the correct choice is: .
Is the similarity ratio between the three triangles equal to one?
Look at the vertex labels carefully! In similar triangles, corresponding sides are opposite to corresponding vertices. For example, if vertex F corresponds to vertex D, then the side opposite to F corresponds to the side opposite to D.
For triangles to be similar, they must have the same shape but different size. This means every corresponding side must be scaled by the same factor - that's why all ratios must equal each other!
Focus on the vertex labels and given measurements. Triangle ABC has vertices A, B, C while triangle FDV has vertices F, D, V. Use these labels to identify which sides correspond.
Yes, but be consistent! You can write or , but don't mix them up in the same equation.
Check that the ratios follow the pattern: corresponding sides in the same position. The correct answer maintains consistent correspondence between both triangles throughout all three ratios.
