Question

Are the triangles similar? If they are, identify the similarity ratio.

A) Yes; the similarity ratio is 3:4.
B) Yes; the similarity ratio is 2:3.
C) Yes; the similarity ratio is 1:2.
D) No; the triangles are not similar.

Answer 1

A, because if you match the left triangle's sides to the right triangle's sides and simplify the fractions the ratio is 3/4. 6/8= 3/4, 9/12=3/4. and 12/16=3/4
