Question

select the reason why these triangles are similar. if they are not, select
ot similar.\
8 12 5 7
10 6.25
not similar
aa
sas
sss

Explanation:

Step1: Identify side lengths

Yellow triangle sides: \(8\), \(10\), \(12\)
Orange triangle sides: \(5\), \(6.25\), \(7\)

Step2: Check SSS similarity (ratios)

Calculate ratios of corresponding sides:
\(\frac{8}{5} = 1.6\), \(\frac{10}{6.25} = 1.6\), \(\frac{12}{7} \approx 1.714\)

Ratios are not equal (\(1.6
eq 1.714\)), so SSS fails.
Check SAS: Need two sides and included angle, but angles unknown.
Check AA: No angle info.

Since ratios aren’t consistent, triangles aren’t similar.

Answer:

Not similar
