Ab = (7x-6) → b = (7x-6)/a (1)
bc = (12-2x) → b = (12-2x)/c (2)
Since (1) = (2) → (7x-6)/a = (12-2x)/c OR a/c = (7x-6)/(12-2x) (3)
Multiply both numerators of (3) by the SQUARE of their respective denominators;
(a*c²)/c = (7x-6)(12-2x)²/(12-2x)
Now simplify:
ac = (7x-6)(12x-2x) or ac = -14x² + 96x - 72
Similar triangles are triangles that have the same interior angles and the corresponding sides are proportional, that is, for triangles STU and XYZ we have the proportion:
The corresponding sides are congruent only if the proportion rate is 1, but that is not always true and it's not necessary.
Therefore the correct option is B: False
If the corresponding sides are congruent, the triangles are congruent.
