Show your work.

Answer 1

99/96=66/64

Explanation:

Answer 2

99/96=66/64

Explanation:

If the triangles are similar dividing the altitude by the base of both triangles should give you the same answer, if they don't they are not similar,

99/96= 1.03125

66/64= 1.03125

So the triangles are indeed similar.
