Which statement is true? The triangles are not similar, but they are congruent. The triangles are neither similar nor congruent.
2 answers:
Similar triangles may or may not be congruent.
The true statement is (d) The triangles are similar by the SSS similarity theorem.
From the complete question (see attachment), we have the following highlights.
- The side lengths of both triangles are not congruent
- The side lengths of both triangles are in proportion.
The above highlights mean that, the triangles are not congruent, however the triangles are similar.
And they are similar by SSS similarity theorem because the sides are in proportion.
Hence, the true statement is (d)
