Question

PLEASE HELP ME ANSWER THIS QUICKLY AND CORRECTLY WITH EXPLANATION! I WILL MARK YOUR BRAINLIST IF ONLY YOUR ANSWER IS CORRECT.

Answer 1

A.) Similar?  YES  

Why or why not?  It is similar because as your can see in the picture above, it shows a large triangle and a small triangle. On the smaller triangle, the corner "G" has a degree of 67. On the larger triangle, the corner "P" has the same degree as the smaller one, therefore all the other corners have the same degree making the missing degree for "R" 34 degrees, and the missing "C" 79 degrees.  

If so, *similarity statement and scale factor: SF:  1.5  

*I didn't know what they meant by similarity statement

B.) Similar?  NO  

Why or why not?  The triangles are two totally different shapes, with totally different degree angles, making it totally different  

If so, *similarity statement and scale factor: SF:  2  

*I didn't know what they meant by similarity statement

C.) Similar?  NO  

Why or why not?  The triangles are two totally different shapes, with totally different degree angles, making it totally different  

If so, *similarity statement and scale factor: SF:  1.2  

*I didn't know what they meant by similarity statement

D.) Similar?  YES  

Why or why not?  They are the same shape; just with one enlarged and one decreased in size. They both have the same angle degree and everything else similar but the size of the shape.  

If so, *similarity statement and scale factor: SF:  2  

*I didn't know what they meant by similarity statement

**To find the scale factor you would have to divide the big number, to the smaller number... Like for figure D, the base of the BIG triangle is 56, and the small triangle is 28. 56 ÷ 28 = 2 Making 2 the SF (Scale Factor)
