Question

Which of the following statements is true for two similar triangles?

• A. They are of the same shape.
• B. None of the above is true.
• C. Both a and b are true.
• D. They are of the same size.
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A They are of the same shape.

Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are equal.


The given similar triangles are of the same shape but not the same size.
Example:

We can see that $\Delta CAB$ and $\Delta PQR$ have the same shape but have different areas. Hence, the two triangles are similar.
