Question

Match the similar triangles whose sides are given in cm.

• A. 10, 24, 26
• B. 9, 12, 15
• C. 4.5, 20, 20.5

Answer 1

As triangles are similar, their sides will be in proportion.
$\frac{6}{9}=\frac{8}{12}=\frac{10}{15}=\frac{1}{3}$

Similarly
$\frac{5}{10}=\frac{12}{24}=\frac{13}{26}=\frac{1}{2}$

Similarly
$\frac{9}{4.5}=\frac{40}{20}=\frac{41}{20.5}=2$
