Question

why is it necessary to check all three side ratios in sss similarity? a. to calculate the perimeter b. to confirm proportionality c. to find the scale factor d. to prove congruence what does sss stand for in the context of triangle similarity? a. angle - side - side b. side - side - angle c. side - angle - side d. side - side - side what is necessary to prove two triangles are similar using sss similarity? a. all three pairs of corresponding sides are proportional b. all angles are equal c. one pair of corresponding sides is proportional d. two pairs of corresponding sides are equal

Explanation:

1. In SSS similarity, checking all three - side ratios is to confirm that the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional. This is the essence of SSS similarity criterion.
2. SSS stands for Side - Side - Side in the context of triangle similarity.
3. To prove two triangles are similar using SSS similarity, all three pairs of corresponding sides must be proportional.

Answer:

1. b. To confirm proportionality
2. d. Side - Side - Side
3. a. All three pairs of corresponding sides are proportional
