Question

12. a) Name the postulate or theorem that can be used to prove the triangles similar.

12b) What is the scale factor of the larger figure to the smaller figure?

12c. Write a triangle similarity statement.

Answer 1

a) SSS theorem can be used in this case. It says that two triangles are similar if the lengths of all corresponding sides are proportional.

b) The scale factor of the larger figure to the smaller figure is equal 3:1

c)
