Answer:

Explanation:

Comparing the triangles in the given questions, the following can be deduced:

5. The scale factor =
(15)/(10) =
(12)/(8)
(9)/(7)

So that;

QR is similar to UT, PR is similar to US, but PQ is NOT similar to TS.

Thus, the triangles are NOT similar.

6. Scale factor =
(15)/(10) =
(12)/(8) =
(9)/(6)

= 1.5

So that;

QR is similar to UT, PR is similar to US, but PQ is similar to TS.

Thus, the triangles are similar by Side-Side-Side (SSS).

7. Here, an exact scale factor can not be determined. Thus, the triangles are NOT similar.
