Please Help Me Im Stuck And The Selected Answer Is Not Wrong Or Right I Dont Know class=

Sagot :

No these triangles are not similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Information on First triangle :

Base = 3

Height = 8

Given information on Second triangle :

Base = 4

Height = 10

Area of a Right Angle triangle :

[tex] \frac{base \times height}{2} [/tex]

Area of First triangle :

[tex] \frac{3 \times 8}{2} = \frac{24}{2} \\ \\ = 12[/tex]

Area of Second triangle :

[tex] \frac{4 \times 10}{2} = \frac{40}{2} = 20[/tex]

Their Ratio :

[tex]12:20 = \frac{12}{20} \\ = \frac{3}{5} [/tex]

So I guess no, the triangles are not similar.
