Question

Kelsey uses the similarity statement to describe the triangles below.

Which best describes the accuracy of her statement?
Accurate. Each pair of sides corresponds with a common ratio of 2.
Accurate. The description of each triangle begins at the same vertex.
Inaccurate. In the order listed, the ratio between each pair of sides is different.
Inaccurate. The description of the triangles in the similarity statement moves clockwise in one triangle and counterclockwise in the other triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:A

Explanation:

Answer 2

In ΔRTS ⇒⇒⇒ RT = 8 , RS = 3 and ST = 5.4

In ΔRVU ⇒⇒⇒ RV = 4 , RU = 1.5 and UV = 2.7

We can conclude the following:

⇒ RT/RV = 8/4 = 2 →(1)

and ⇒ RS/RU = 3/1.5 = 2 →(2)

and ⇒ ST/UV = 5.4/2.7 = 2 →(3)

From (1), (2) and (3)

∴ Δ RTS is similar to ΔRVU by PPP

SO, the best statement is:

Each pair of sides corresponds with a common ratio of 2.
