Question

directions: determine whether the triangles are similar, write a valid similarity statement. 1. this is a 2 - page

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the ratios of corresponding sides

Calculate $\frac{44}{17}$, $\frac{55}{20}$, $\frac{37.4}{25}$.
$\frac{44}{17}\approx2.588$, $\frac{55}{20} = 2.75$, $\frac{37.4}{25}=1.496$.

Step2: Check for equal - ratios

Since $\frac{44}{17}
eq\frac{55}{20}
eq\frac{37.4}{25}$, the corresponding sides are not in proportion.

Answer:

The triangles are not similar.
