In these figures, there is a pair of similar triangles and a triangle that is not similar to the others.
Determine which are similar and calculate their their similarity ratio.
To solve this problem, we'll compare the side ratios of the given triangles to determine which pair are similar and find the similarity ratio.
Comparing Triangle A and Triangle B:
Here, the ratios are not equal; hence, triangles A and B are not similar.
Comparing Triangle A and Triangle C:
All ratios are equal, so triangles A and C are similar, with a similarity ratio of 2.
Comparing Triangle B and Triangle C:
The ratios are not equal, so triangles B and C are not similar.
Therefore, the similar triangles are Triangle A and Triangle C, with a similarity ratio of 2.
The correct answer is A + C are similar with a ratio of 2.
A + C are similar with a 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?
