5. Determine whether the triangles are similar. If they are, state what method you used and write a similarity
statement

1. Yes, ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar triangles by SSS similarity.

2. Yes, ΔABC and ΔFGH are similar triangles by AAA similarity.

Solution:

Question 1.

(a) Yes, ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar triangles.

(b) If two triangles are congruent, then their corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

Let's compare the sides of the triangles.

Corresponding sides of the triangle are in the same ratio.

Hence by SSS similarity ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar triangles.

Question 2:

(a) Yes, ΔABC and ΔFGH are similar triangles.

By triangle sum theorem,

In triangle ABC,

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

m∠A + 81° + 52° = 180°

m∠A = 180° –  133°

m∠A = 47°

In triangle ABC,

m∠F + m∠G + m∠H = 180°

47° + m∠G + 52° = 180°

m∠G = 180° –  99°

m∠G = 81°

Yes, ΔABC and ΔFGH are similar triangles.

(b) If two triangles are congruent, then their corresponding angles are congruent.

∠A ≅ ∠F

∠B ≅ ∠G

∠C ≅ ∠H

Hence by AAA similarity ΔABC and ΔFGH are similar triangles.

pay attention in your classes and concentrate the best thing you can do to raise your test scores is to pay attention when you're supposed to be learning the material: in class!

take good notes.

do your homework.

use mnemonics and other tricks.

do practice tests.

note: the best i know.

c - they will have the same distribution
