Question

mai thinks knowing the measures of 2 sides is enough to show triangle similarity. do you agree? yes no explain or show your reasoning.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To prove triangle similarity, we need to meet one of the similarity criteria such as AA (Angle - Angle), SAS (Side - Angle - Side) similarity (where the included angle is equal and the sides are in proportion), or SSS (Side - Side - Side) similarity (where the ratios of all three pairs of corresponding sides are equal). Just knowing the measures of two sides is not sufficient. For example, if we have two sides of one triangle and two sides of another triangle, we don't know if the included angles are equal (for SAS similarity) and we also don't have information about the third side (for SSS similarity).

Answer:

No.
