Question

Which of the following verifies that A COW is similar to APIG?Gw2115751Oс412PA. SAS theoremB. Similarity cannot be determined.C. SSS theoremD. AA postulateOkay

Answer 1

In the two triangles COW and PIG, take the ratio of sides as follows:

`\begin{gathered} (CW)/(GP)=(7)/(21)=(1)/(3) \\ (CO)/(PI)=(4)/(12)=(1)/(3) \\ (OW)/(IG)=(5)/(15)=(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`

From the ratio it follows that the ratio of sides of the two triangles is equal, hence the triangles are similar by SSS theorem.

Option C is correct.
