Question

1. test for sss.

(diagrams of triangles vuw with sides 22, 35, 28 and triangle lmn with sides 25, 20, 16)
(handwritten notes with fractions and equalities)
options: not similar, aa~, sss~, sas~ (
ot similar\ is circled)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify side lengths

For $\triangle VWU$: sides are $22$, $28$, $35$.
For $\triangle LMN$: sides are $25$, $16$, $20$.

Step2: Find ratios of corresponding sides

• $\frac{22}{25} = 0.88$
• $\frac{28}{16} = 1.75$
• $\frac{35}{20} = 1.75$

Step3: Check SSS similarity

SSS similarity requires all three ratios to be equal. Here, $\frac{22}{25}
eq \frac{28}{16} = \frac{35}{20}$, so the triangles are not similar by SSS.

Answer:

Not Similar
