The definition of similar triangles says that 2 triangles are similar if they have the same shape but different size. There are two criteria to check for this:
1) If all angles in one triangle are equal to the angles in another one, then the 2 are equal.
2) If the sides have the same proportions, then the 2 triangles are similar.
1) We have that all the angles of the 2 triangles have an equal angle in the other triangle. In specific, Q is matched to B, P to A and R to C. Hence, since corresponding angles are congruent, the two triangles are similar.
2) Here we are given information about the sides of the triangles, so we will check the second criterion. We form the ratio of the largest sides of each trangle and the shortest sides. 30/5=6. For the shortest sides, 18/3=6. Finally for the middle sides, 24/4=6. Hence, we have that the triangles are similar since the ratios are equal. (it doesn't matter whether we take the bigger or the smaller side as a numerator, as long as we are consistent).

There are 60 minutes in one hour.
Divide 60 minutes by 10 minutes.
You get 6. That means you would need 6 recycled bottles to power a washing machine for one hour (that will be awesome if that were the case).
Have an awesome day! :)

Hey there! :)
There are 5 numbers.
Even numbers end with 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0
All of the numbers end in 0
That means all the numbers are even
Your answer is: 5/5 = 1
Hope this helps :)
