Question

Given the information below, QRS is UVT similar to ? If so, give the scale factor.

QR= 8 RS = 16 UV = 18 VT= 34 M<S=36 M<T=36

A.No, the triangles are not similar.


B.Yes, the scale factor is 1:2.
C.Yes, the scale factor is 4:9.
D. Yes, the scale factor is 8:17.

Answer 1

`Look\ at\ the\ picture.\\\\\Delta QRS\sim\Delta UVT\ if\ (|QR|)/(|UV|)=(|RS|)/(|VT|)\\\\(|QR|)/(|UV|)=(8)/(18)=(4)/(9)\\\\(|RS|)/(|VT|)=(16)/(34)=(8)/(17)\\\\Answer:A.\ No,\ the\ triangles\ are\ not\ similar.`
