Question

true or false: these triangles are similar

Explanation:

Step1: Check the ratio of corresponding sides

We have two triangles \(\triangle SUT\) and \(\triangle DEU\). The ratio of \(SU\) to \(EU\) is \(\frac{39}{16}\), and the ratio of \(UT\) to \(UD\) is \(\frac{40}{16}=\frac{5}{2}\).

Step2: Compare the ratios

Since \(\frac{39}{16}
eq\frac{5}{2}\), the sides are not in proportion.

Answer:

False
