Question

Determine if the figures are similar. If timilar write a similarity statement and which theorem you used

Answer 1

According to the rule of similarity two triangles are similar if: the sides of the triangle have the same ratios:

So:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{KM}{PR}=\frac{ML}{PQ}=\frac{KL}{RQ} \\ \frac{10}{12}=\frac{15}{18}=\frac{20}{24}=0.8333 \end{gathered}$

So triangle KLM and PQR are similar.
