In the diagram there is a pair of similar triangles and a triangle that is not similar.
Determine which are similar and calculate their similarity ratio.
To determine which triangles are similar, we will compare the side ratios of each pair of triangles systematically.
First, let us consider Triangle A-B-C and Triangle D-E-F:
Next, consider Triangle A-B-C and Triangle G-H-I:
To confirm, check Triangle B-C and Triangle G-H-I for the same ratio conformity.
Therefore, the similar triangles are Triangle G-H-I and Triangle A-B-C, with a similarity ratio of .
B + C, similarity ratio of 2
Angle B is equal to 60°
Angle C is equal to 55°
Angle E is equal to 60°
Angle F is equal to 50°
Are these triangles similar?
