Sagot :
Answer:
D. Proportional
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar triangles are not congruent, they may have the same shape but not the same size.
In similarity theorem, the corresponding sides are proportion.
For example, we want to prove that ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar.
The corresponding sides:
- AB = 12 and DE = 9
- BC = 24 and EF = 18
To check the similarity:
AB/DE = BC = EF
12/9 = 24/18
Simplify the ratio of each side:
4/3 = 4/3
The ratio are equal, therefore their sides are proportional.
ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar triangles.
