The triangles that could not be similar to triangle ABC are the bottom triangles

Which triangles could not be similar to triangle ABC?

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The triangles

For any triangle to be similar to the triangle ABC, the ratio of the corresponding sides must be equal

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

The top triangles have equal corresponding ratio

For the bottom (2), we have

12/8 = 5/6 = 13/10 --- false

12/35 = 5/12 = 13/37 --- false

Hence, the triangles are the bottom triangles
