Question

a. These triangles are proportional. Identify which sides match up between the two triangles. Please note sides are named from point to point so for instance the length 40 on triangle ABC is referred to as side AB. Make sure to identify all three pairs. b. Set up fractions with your side pairs to show proportionality. Do they all simplify down to the same fraction? If not please go back to Part A and remember that shapes can be rotated or reflected. Make sure to show your work demonstrating that the fractions are proportional. c. Are the triangles similar? If so explain why. If not, explain why not. Your work from Part A & B may help with this.

Answer 1

a)ab and yz, ac and xy, bc and xz

b)yz = xy = xz 30 = 37.5 = 45 3 = 3 = 3

ab ac bc 40 50 60 4 4 4

c)they are similar because all sides break down to ¾
