Question

Could 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 6, 10, 12 be the corresponding sides of two similar triangles

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

If the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal then they would be the sides of 2 similar triangles.

Calculate the ratio of corresponding sides.

`(6)/(1.5)` = 4

`(10)/(2.5)` = 4

`(12)/(3.5)` ≠ 4

Thus the sides are not the corresponding sides of similar triangles.
