Question

Which statement best describes triangles UWW and
XYZ?

Answer 1

Similar but not congruent

Explanation:

For them to be congruent, they have to have same everything but not necessarily the same orientation. They are not congruent because their corresponding sides aren't the same measurement.

You can tell if two triangles are similar if each pair of corresponding are congruent.

They will also have corresponding sides are proportional.

That is 50/40=60/48=40/32 in this case? Well does it? It does, because each one of them is equal to 1.25.

Answer 2

The correct answer is second option

They are similar, but not congruent

Explanation:

From the given diagram we can see two triangles.

ΔUVW and ΔXYZ

m<X = m<U,

m<Y = m<V and

m<Z = m<W

Therefore two triangles are similar

The sides of these two triangles are not congruent, therefore these two triangles are not congruent.

The correct answer is second option

They are similar, but not congruent
