Question
In each of the following figures, you find who triangles. Indicate whether the triangles are similar. Give reasons in support of your answer.
Solution
In two triangles, we observe that
`(2.3)/(4.6)=3/8=5/10=1/2`
In similar triangle corresponding sides are proportional to each other.
Therefore, by SSS-criterion of similarity,
Yes two triangles are similar
