Question

determine if triangle mno and triangle pqr are or are not similar, and, if they are, state how you know. (note that figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.) answer attempt 1 out of 2 the triangles similar.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate side - length ratios

Find the ratios of corresponding sides. $\frac{PQ}{MN}=\frac{36}{9} = 4$, $\frac{QR}{NO}=\frac{32}{8}=4$, $\frac{PR}{MO}=\frac{24}{6}=4$.

Step2: Check similarity condition

Since $\frac{PQ}{MN}=\frac{QR}{NO}=\frac{PR}{MO} = 4$, by the Side - Side - Side (SSS) similarity criterion, the two triangles are similar.

Answer:

are
