Question

Triangle ABC has been dilated to form triangle DEF. What is the least amount of information needed to prove the two triangles are similar? (5 points) Two pairs of corresponding angles Two pairs of corresponding sides Two pairs of corresponding angles and one pair of corresponding sides Two pairs of corresponding sides and one pair of corresponding angles

Answer 1

Two pairs of corresponding angles.

Explanation:

Because if 2 pairs are congruent the third pair must also be congruent.

Answer 2

Explanation:

If triangle ABC is dilated to form triangle DEF

If we want to prove triangle ABC is similar to Triangle DEF then two Pairs of corresponding angles are required

If two pairs of angles are corresponding then third pair should be corresponding as well.
