Question

State if the triangles are similar. If so, how do you know they are similar and complete the similarity statement.

ΔTUV
~ ____

Answer 1

YES by SAS

triangle TUV is similar to triangle TLM

Explanation:

The ratios of the sides

24/6 = 4

36/9 = 4

so the sides are similar

We know angle UTV = angle LTM because they are vertical angles

we have side included angle side

The triangles are similar by SAS ( side angle side)

triangle TUV is similar to triangle TLM
