The statements below can be used to prove that the triangles are similar. ? △ABC ~ △XYZ by the SSS similarity theorem. Which mat
hematical statement is missing? ∠B ≅ ∠Y ∠B ≅ ∠Z
2 answers:
Solution:
It is given that two triangles Δ ABC and Δ X Y Z are similar by Side -Side - Side(SSS) Similarity theorem.
So, the Statement which is given, that is →→∠B ≅ ∠Y and ∠B ≅ ∠Z, is inadequate for similarity criterion by SSS, as these statement are about angles of Triangles,not sides, which can't be true.
So, if the two triangles are Similar by SSS criterion , then the appropriate mathematical statement must be,
