Are the triangles similar?
These triangles are not similar.
These triangles are similar by AA.
These triangles are similar by SAS
These triangles are similar by SSS

To prove triangles are similar, you need to prove two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

SSS similarity postulate

The SSS similarity postulate says that if the lengths of the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional then the triangles must be similar.

In the given figure , we have two triangles ΔABC and ΔXYZ such that the corresponding sides of both the triangles are proportional.

i.e.

Then by SSS-similarity criteria , we have

ΔABC ≈ ΔXYZ

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
