Math Problem Statement
Complete the similarity statement and reason for the pair of triangles shown. If they are not similar, type the word "no" in both blanks.
Solution
To determine if the triangles are similar, we need to check if their corresponding sides are proportional or if they have equal angles.
For triangles and :
- Check the ratio of corresponding sides:
As the ratios are equal and they have equal angles, the triangles are similar.
Thus: by SAS (Side-Angle-Side) similarity criteria.
