State if the triangles in each pair are similar.

If so, state how you know they are similar and


complete the similarity statement.

Solutions

1. Similar triangles

The triangles are similar since two of their angles are equal.

and

Therefore;

2. Not similar triangles


Because, the triangles have no two angles that are equal
3. Not similar triangles
Because, the triangles have no two angles that are equal
4. Similar triangles
Using the SAS rule, the ratio between two sides is the same as the ratio between another two
sides and the included angles are equal
For these triangles
One pair of sides is in the ratio
Another pair of sides is in the ratio
And the included angles
Therefore;
;
