These triangles are NOT similar! Why not? Use calculations AND words to explain.

1 answer:

4 0

Answer:

Similar triangles are (roughly speaking) triangles that have the same angles and the same ratio of the length of their sides

We can use ratios to show that the triangles are not similar

14:20 as a fraction is 14/20 as a decimal is 0.7

12:16 as a fraction is 12/16 as a decimal is 0.75

The side lengths are not the same proportion as shown by the different decimal, so the triangles are not similar

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Both fractions can be expressed using a denominator of 10. The sum can be reduced by removing a common factor of 5 from numerator and denominator.

$\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{2}{10}\\\\=\dfrac{3+2}{10}=\dfrac{5\cdot 1}{5\cdot 2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$
