Similar Triangles

Question 7 • TX-Mathematical Models with Applications A

If you know two corresponding sides of two triangles and you know that the corresponding angles are equal, how can you find out if they are similar triangles?

Answer
A
the other angles are proportional
B
the vertical angles will be congruent
C
ratios of the sides will be equal
D
ratio of the sides will not be equal

Explanation

Use the SAS similarity rule: compare the ratios of the two pairs of corresponding sides. If those ratios are equal and the angle between the sides is equal, the triangles are similar. So the correct choice is “ratios of the sides will be equal.”
