Question

state if the triangles are similar. If so, how do you know they are similar and complete the similarity statement.ABC

Answer 1

Remember that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of their corresponding sides is proportional and their corresponding angles are congruent

Verify the proportionality between corresponding sides

so

`\begin{gathered} (AB)/(AV)=(AC)/(AW) \\ substitute\text{ given values} \\ (42)/(27)=(24)/(16) \\ 1.561.5\text{ } \\ \end{gathered}`

that means

The triangles are not similar
