Answer:

4) ΔEFG ~ ΔECD

6) Not Similar

Explanation:

4) Shortest to longest sides are ...

EF : FG : GE = 14 : 16 : 20 = 7 : 8 : 10 (reduced)

EC : CD : DE = 7 : 8 : 10

The triangles have the same side length ratios, so are similar.

ΔEFT ~ ΔECD

__

6) Shortest to longest, the given sides have ratios ...

UT : TV = 71 : 84 (reduced)

GT : TH = 60 : 72 = 5 : 6 (reduced)

The side ratios are different, so the triangles are NOT SIMILAR.
