Question

Are the triangles similar if the line KJ = 22? If so, why?

Options:
A) Yes, because the sides are proportional.
B) No, because the angles are not congruent.
C) Yes, because the angles are congruent.
D) No, because there is not enough information provided.

Answer 1

The triangles are similar because their sides are proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar because their sides are proportional. When two triangles have corresponding sides that are in proportion, they are similar. In this case, if line KJ is equal to 22, then the corresponding side in the other triangle must also be 22 times the corresponding side in the first triangle.
