00:00Choose the correct answer
00:03We want to find the ratio of sides
00:06Let's substitute the side values according to the given data
00:11We'll break down each number into factors with (3) and reduce
00:15This is the ratio of sides
00:18Let's find another side ratio
00:27We can see that here too the similarity ratio is equal
00:36And for this pair of sides too, we can see the ratio is equal
00:53All ratios are equal, therefore the triangles are similar
00:58And this is the solution to the question
Step-by-Step Solution
This problem involves identifying the correct similarity ratio of triangles based on given line segments. We have triangle △ACF with line segments AC and CF, and triangle △BDV with line segments BD and DV, 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 △ACF and △BDV are similar, the segments would meet certain proportional criteria. The possible ratios could be formed by recognizing:
ACFV should correspond to the smaller segment extending from a vertex to base or equivalent in the other triangle setup.
ABDV matches up the vertex downward extension similar to ACFV with a base side.
BCFD must be the ratio of a cross-cutting or diagonal side ratio to maintain similarity from base to opposite corner.
Thus, the correct setup for these segments should reflect that: ACFV=ABDV=BCFD
By evaluating each choice given, the correct answer would align with this reasoning. Therefore, the correct choice is:
ACFV=ABDV=BCFD.
