Question

Which statement correctly describes two triangle that are similar?

- The distance between corresponding vertices are equal and the corresponding angle measures are the same.
- The distance between corresponding vertices are equal, but the corresponding angle measures are not the same.
- The distance between corresponding vertices are proportional and the corresponding angle measures are the same.
- The distance between corresponding vertices are proportional, but the corresponding angle measures are not the same.

Answer 1

The distance between corresponding vertices are proportional and the corresponding angle measures are the same.

Explanation:

• similar triangles definition: two triangles are said to be similar if their sides are in proportion and the corresponding angles are congruent.

• distance between corresponding vertices means, corresponding sides.

• therefore, third option is correct.

The distance between corresponding vertices are proportional and the corresponding angle measures are the same.
