Two triangles that have three pairs of proportional sides are always similar. Identify the ratios of the length of

each side. Tell whether the triangles are similar or not similar and explain why.
Triangle 1: 18, 24, 36
Triangle 2: 16, 18, 24

Answer:

Explanation:

Given "Two triangles that have three pairs of proportional sides are always similar."

Triangle 1: 18, 24, 36

Triangle 2: 16, 18, 24

16/18 = 8/9

18/24 = 3/4

24/36 = 2/3

So the three pairs of sides are not proportional and the triangles are not similar.

  • 18/18=1
  • 24/24=1
  • 36/16=2.2

No as

One ratio is unsimilar so triangles are not similar
