Question

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle PQR, as shown below:

Two similar triangles ABC and PQR are shown. Triangle ABC has sides AB equals c, BC equals a, and AC equals b. Triangle PQR has

Which equation is correct?

Answer 1

c is the correct equation

given ΔABC is similar to ΔPQR

then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

the sides a, b and c inΔABC correspond to the sides p, q and r in ΔPQR

thus the following ratios are equal

`(a)/(p)` =
`(b)/(q)` =
`(c)/(r)`

from this we can see that
`(c)/(r)` =
`(a)/(p)` → c
