Question
In each of the given pairs of triangles, find which pair of triangles are similar. State the similarity criterion and write the similarity relation in symbolic form:
Solution
We have:
`(AB)/(DF)=3/6=1/2` and `(BC)/(DE)=4.5/9=1/2`
But , ∠ABC ≠ ∠EDF (Included angles are not equal)
Thus, this triangles are not similar.
