Question

question 1
are the following triangles similar?
image of two triangles with side lengths: first triangle 16, 25, 28; second triangle 8, 12, 14
options:

• no, they are not similar
• yes, they are similar because the corresponding sides are proportional.
• there is not enough information to determine.
• yes, they are similar because they look like the same shape.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate side ratios

$\frac{16}{8}=2$, $\frac{28}{14}=2$, $\frac{25}{12}\approx2.083$

Step2: Compare all ratios

Check if all ratios are equal: $2
eq 2.083$

Answer:

No, they are not similar
