Hello,

The answer to the question is true

whenever we have two triangles that are similar, then thier corresponding angles and sides must be equal. They're refered to as congurent triangles

Congurent triangles are triangles that their corresponding sides are of equal length.

for example if triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ

The side lengths of the two triangles above are in proportion

Therefore,


(XY)/(AB)=\text{ }(XZ)/(AC)\text{ = }(YZ)/(BC)

True or false similar triangles always have equal lengths of corresponding sides-example-1
