Question

Are the two triangles similar? how do you know?

A. no
B. yes; by AA
C. yes; by SAS
D. yes; by SSS

Answer 1

A. no

Explanation:

You might expect to use SAS in showing similarity, but the sides on either side of congruent angles M are in the ratio of 3:4 in one triangle and 2:3 in the other. Corresponding sides do not have the same ratio, so the triangles cannot be similar.
