If △STU is similar to △XYZ, the sides of △STU must be congruent to thecorresponding sides of △XYZ.A. TrueB. False
1 answer:
Similar triangles are triangles that have the same interior angles and the corresponding sides are proportional, that is, for triangles STU and XYZ we have the proportion:
The corresponding sides are congruent only if the proportion rate is 1, but that is not always true and it's not necessary.
Therefore the correct option is B: False
If the corresponding sides are congruent, the triangles are congruent.

For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:
Then, we take common factor 8:
By definition of power properties we have to:
So:
Since both terms are perfect cubes, we factor using the cube difference formula:
Where:
So:
