Question

1. determine how (if possible) the triangles can be proved similar? sss- aa- not similar sas- 20.8 8 23.4 9

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the ratios of the corresponding sides

For the two triangles, we have two pairs of corresponding sides. The ratios are \(\frac{20.8}{8}\) and \(\frac{23.4}{9}\).

$$ \frac{20.8}{8}=2.6 $$

$$ \frac{23.4}{9}=2.6 $$

Step2: Check the included angle

The two sides are in proportion (\(2.6 = 2.6\)), and the included angle is common (the angle between the two sides in each triangle is the same).
