Question
- write a similarity statement. △□□∼△□□
Step1: Calculate the ratios of corresponding sides
For triangle \(SBT\) and \(FED\), \(\frac{SB}{FE}=\frac{54}{60}=\frac{9}{10}\), \(\frac{BT}{ED}=\frac{66}{70}=\frac{33}{35}\), \(\frac{ST}{FD}=\frac{33}{60}=\frac{11}{20}\). Since \(\frac{9}{10}
eq\frac{33}{35}
eq\frac{11}{20}\), the SSS (Side - Side - Side) similarity criterion (which requires \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}\)) is not met. There is no information about included angles to check SAS (Side - Angle - Side) similarity, and no information about two pairs of angles to check AA (Angle - Angle) similarity.
