Question

Determine if the two triangles shown are similar. If so, write the similarity statement.

Question 18 options:


A)
Impossible to determine.


B)
ΔGCB ∼ ΔGFE


C)
The triangles are not similar.


D)
ΔBCG ∼ ΔEFG

Answer 1

C. The triangles are not similar

Explanation:

For two triangles to be considered similar, the 3 angles of one triangle must be equal or congruent to the corresponding 3 angles of the others.

The only angle in ∆BCG that is equal to the corresponding angles in ∆EFG is <BGC. The remaining 2 angles in ∆BCG are not congruent to the corresponding 2 angles in ∆EFG.

Therefore, we can conclude that both triangles are not similar.
