Question

The triangles below are similar. Triangle A B C. Side A C is 10 and side A B is 5. Angle C is 30 degrees. Triangle D E F. Side E D is 7.5 and side D F is 25. Angle F is 30 degrees and angle E is 90 degrees. Which similarity statements describe the relationship between the two triangles? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DE\ F$

$\triangle CBA {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle FED$

$\triangle BAC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle EDF$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DE\ F$

$AC = 10$

$AB = 5$

$\angle C = 30^\circ$

$ED = 7.5$

$DF = 25$

$\angle F =30$

$\angle E =90$

Required

Which of the options is/are true:

$\triangle CBA {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle FED$            $\triangle CBA {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle FDE$              $\triangle BAC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle EFD$

$\triangle BAC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle EDF$            $\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DE\ F$             $\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DFE$

The given triangles, implies that:

$A {\displaystyle \sim } \ D$

$B {\displaystyle \sim } \ E$

$C {\displaystyle \sim } \ F$

By taking each sides of both triangle, one after the other; the possible similar triangles are:

$\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DE\ F$

$\triangle CBA {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle FED$

$\triangle BAC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle EDF$
