Question

Consider the two triangles. How can the triangles be proven similar by the SSS similarity theorem? Show that the ratios are equivalent. Show that the ratios are equivalent. Show that the ratios are equivalent, and ∠V ≅ ∠Y. Show that the ratios are equivalent, and ∠U ≅ ∠Z.

Answer 1

The answer is A, you must prove those side lengths congruent.

Answer 2

Side-angle-side similarity means that when two triangles have corresponding angles that are congruent and corresponding sides with identical ratios we can say that the triangles are similar. So UV/XY and WV/ZY are equivalent and therefore, angle V equals angle Y is the correct answer.
