Question

Determine whether each pair of figured i’d similar. If so, write the similarity statement and scale factor. If not, explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

The triangles are similar if;

`(|AB|)/(|UV|)=(|BC|)/(|VT|)=(|AC|)/(|UT|)`

Thus, we have;

`(16)/(24)=(14)/(21)=(12)/(18)`

Then;

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle UVT.

The scale factor is;

`(2)/(3)`
