Question

if two triangles are similar, then the ratios of their corresponding sides are ______.

○ 2

○ 1

○ equal

○ not equal

Explanation:

The definition of similar triangles states that corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are in proportion (i.e., their ratios are equal). The options "2" and "1" are specific numbers and don't describe the relationship of side ratios in similar triangles. "Not equal" contradicts the definition. So the correct description is "equal".

Answer:

C. equal (assuming the option with "equal" is labeled as such; if the options are numbered, e.g., the third option is "equal", then "The third option (equal)")
