Decide whether the triangles are similar. Explain your reasoning. (a) 33 36 The measure of V is and the measure of Z is . So, by the definition of similar triangles, you can conclude that the triangles are similar. (b) 6 m 8 m 3 m 4 m The sides of the two triangles give the ratios 3 4 = 6 . Hence, GJ ---Select--- proportional to KM and GH ---Select--- proportional to KL. So, you can conclude that the triangles ---Select--- similar (c) 30 ft 40 ft 32 ft 6 ft 8 ft 6.4 ft We see that 8 40 = 32 = 30 . Hence, AB ---Select--- proportional to DE, AC ---Select--- proportional to DF, and BC ---Select--- proportional to EF. So, you can conclude that the triangles ---Select--- similar
