Question

Is △FHK similar to △GHJ? If so, which postulate or theorem proves these two triangles are similar? ​△FHK​ ​ is similar to ​ ​△GHJ​ ​ by the ​ ​SSS Similarity Theorem​. ​△FHK​ ​ is similar to ​ ​△GHJ​ ​ by the ​SSA Similarity Theorem​. ​△FHK​ ​ is similar to ​ ​△GHJ​ ​ by the ​ ​ ​SAS Similarity Theorem. ​△FHK​ ​ is not similar to ​ ​△GHJ​​.

Answer 1

Answer:

ΔFHK and ΔGHJ are the similar triangles by SAS similarity theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Picture for the given question is missing; find the picture attached.

If $\frac{\text{FH}}{\text{GH}}=\frac{\text{HK}}{\text{HJ}}$ and ∠H ≅ ∠H

Then ΔFHK ~ ΔGHJ

$\frac{\text{FH}}{\text{GH}}=\frac{\text{HK}}{\text{HJ}}$

$\frac{(12+10)}{10}=\frac{(15+18)}{15}$

$\frac{22}{10}=\frac{33}{15}$

$\frac{11}{5}=\frac{11}{5}$

Since, $\frac{\text{FH}}{\text{GH}}=\frac{\text{HK}}{\text{HJ}}$ and ∠H ≅ ∠H [By reflexive property]

Therefore, ΔFHK and ΔGHJ are the similar triangles by SAS similarity theorem.

Option (3) will be the answer.
