Question

Figure I and Figure Il are similar Which proportion must be true?

Answer 1

We know that figure I and figure II are similar, which means that:

-The corresponding angles are equal

-The corresponding sides are at the same ratio.

The ratios between the corresponding sides are:

`(15)/(5)=(12)/(4)=(8)/(2)=(x)/(y)`

You have to compare the determined ratios with the given options to find the true statement.

The only given proportion that is true is the first one

`(x)/(y)=(8)/(2)`
