Answer:

2) The side length ratios, shortest to longest are .. MK : KL = 13: 19 (reduced) HK : KG = 6:9 = 2:3 (reduced) The side length ratios are different, so the triangles are NOT SIMILAR.

Answer:

1) Not Similar

2) Not Similar

Explanation:

1) The side length ratios, shortest to longest, are ...

VU : UW : WV = 27 : 39 : 52 (reduced)

DC : CE : ED = 12 : 19 : 24 (reduced)

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