Math Problem Statement

final answer only, what is the similarity

final answer only, what is the similarity

Solution

The triangles BCD\triangle BCD and FGH\triangle FGH are similar by the SSS Similarity Theorem, as their corresponding sides are proportional:

13.530=1840=2760\frac{13.5}{30} = \frac{18}{40} = \frac{27}{60}

Let me know if you'd like further details or have any questions!

Expanding Questions:

  1. How do we verify proportionality in SSS similarity?
  2. What is the role of angle comparison in similarity?
  3. How can the similarity ratio be used to find unknown sides?
  4. What are other similarity criteria besides SSS?
  5. How can the similarity of triangles be applied in practical problems?

Tip: Always verify all three side ratios when using the SSS similarity theorem to confirm triangle similarity.
