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 triangle, we observe that
`(3(1)/2)/(1(1)/6)=(2(1)/3)/(1(3)/4)`
`(7/2)/(7/6)=(7/3)/(7/4)`
`7/2xx6/7=7/3xx4/7`
`cancel7/2xx6/cancel7=cancel7/3xx4/cancel7`
`cancel(6)^3/cancel2=4/3`
`3=4/3`
In two triangles corresponding sides are not proportional to each other.
