Question

Triangle MNP has side lengths 3.5 cm, 4.1 cm, and 4.3 cm. A triangle with what side lengths would be similar to triangle MNP?

Select one:

35 cm, 41 cm, 43 cm

3 cm, 4 cm, 4 cm

25 cm, 31 cm, 33 cm

4.5 cm, 5.1 cm, 5.3 cm

Answer 1

Option 1,

The triangle MNP is similar to the triangle with side lengths 35 cm, 41 cm, 43 cm

Explanation:

Given triangle MNP has side lengths 3.5 cm, 4.1 cm, and 4.3 cm. we have to find the similarity triangle sides from the given option.

As we know, the two triangles are similar if the measures of the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional.

For the first option: 35 cm, 41 cm, 43 cm

`(3.5)/(4.1)=(4.1)/(41)=(4.3)/(43)=(1)/(10)`

which shows that the sides are proportional.

we have to choose only one option ∴ we needn't have to check the others

Hence, the triangle MNP is similar to the triangle with side lengths 35 cm, 41 cm, 43 cm
