Question

question: determine if triangle stu and triangle vwx are or are not similar, and, if they are, state how you know. (note that figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.) aa: two angles congruent sas: two sides + included angle congruent sas: two sides proportionate, included angle congruent sss: three sides congruent sss: three sides proportionate the triangles are similar because

Explanation:

Step1: Check given information

We only have one - angle and two - side lengths for triangle STU and only one side length for triangle VWX. There is not enough information to use AA (no other angles given), SAS (not enough side - angle - side information), or SSS (not enough side lengths for both triangles).

Step2: Determine similarity

Since we don't have sufficient information to apply any of the similarity criteria (AA, SAS, SSS), we conclude the triangles are not necessarily similar.

Answer:

The triangles are not similar because there is not enough information to apply AA, SAS, or SSS similarity criteria.
