Question

4. Are the triangles below similar? Explain
your reasoning.

Answer 1

No, the triangles are not the same because the angles within in the triangle are different making the sides different lengths making the triangle a different type

Answer 2

Yes they are similar.
Triangles have 180 degrees.
Let’s find the missing angle for the first triangle.
180-47-78=55
The missing angle for the first triangle is 55 degrees.
Now the second triangle.
180-55-47=78
The missing angle for the second triangle is 78 degrees.
Both triangles have the same angles.
