Two triangles would be similar if their sides were 3 cm, 6cm, 9cm for the first triangle, and 6 cm, 12 cm, and 18 cm for the second triangle, respectively.True or false?

Similar triangles A and B have the property that their corresponding side lengths have the same ratio.

For the first triangle, the side lengths are 3 cm, 6 cm, and 9 cm.

For the second triangle, the corresponding side lengths are 6 cm, 12 cm, and 18 cm.

It's apparent the side lengths of the second triangle are double the side lengths of the first triangle, so they are similar.

True
