Question

Which set of ratios could be used to determine if one triangle is a dilation of the other? A triangle has side lengths of 4, 6, 8.5. A second triangle has side lengths of 6, 9, 12.5. StartFraction 4 Over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 6 Over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction 8.5 Over 12.5 EndFraction StartFraction 6 Over 4 EndFraction = StartFraction 6 Over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction 8.5 Over 12.5 EndFraction StartFraction 4 Over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 9 Over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 8.5 Over 12.5 EndFraction StartFraction 4 Over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 8.5 Over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction 6 Over 12.5 EndFraction

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

`(4)/(6)` =
`(6)/(9)` =
`(8.5)/(12.5)`

Explanation:

The set of ratios must have numerators coming from the same triangle and denominators coming from the same triangle. The other set of ratios have some numerators coming from both triangles and/or denominators coming from both triangles.
