Question

State if the triangles in each pair are similar. If so, state how you know they are similar andcomplete the similarity statement.1) 2)

Answer 1

Triangles Similarity

For two shapes to be similar, two conditions must be satisfied:

* They must have the same angles.

* The side lengths must be in proportion

Let's focus on the image provided in problem 1.

We must try to find if the length sides of ABU and VWU are in proportion.

To do it, we find the ratio of the sides. If we find the same ratio of two pairs of sides, then the second condition is met.
