Question

Given the triangles ΔRST and ΔUVW, with corresponding side ratios, which of the following represents their similarity?

A. ΔRST ∼ ΔWUV; 56
B. ΔRST ∼ ΔUVW; 56
C. ΔRST ∼ ΔVWU; 65
D. The triangles are not similar

Answer 1

The triangles ΔRST and ΔWUV are similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option A, ΔRST ∼ ΔWUV.

In order for two triangles to be similar, their corresponding angles must be congruent and their corresponding sides must be in proportion. By comparing the given ratios of the corresponding sides of the triangles, we find that the sides of ΔRST and ΔWUV are proportional. Therefore, the triangles ΔRST and ΔWUV are similar.
