Question

Are the triangles similar? If they are, identify the similarity ratio.Yes: the similarity ratio is 2:3.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that for two triangles to be similar, the corresponding sides of the triangles are in equal proportions.

Let's go ahead and determine if the triangles are similar or not;

`\begin{gathered} (6)/(8)=(9)/(12)=(12)/(16)= \\ (6)/(8)=(3)/(4)=3\colon4 \\ (9)/(12)=(3)/(4)=3\colon4 \\ (12)/(16)=(3)/(4)=3\colon4 \end{gathered}`

We can see from that the corresponding
