Idont want to fail pls are the triangles similar? if they are, write a similarity statement and give the scale factor. options: the triangles are not similar. rst ~ wuv : 5/6 rst~uvw ; 5/6 rst~vwu ; 6/5

Answer

the triangles are similar (10/12 = 5/6)

B) RST~UVW ; 5/6

Hi there!

To see if they are similar, we'll first create a proportion: 12/10 = 18/15. Then, we'll cross-multiply. If the result is the same, then they are similar. If not, then the triangles are not similar: 180 = 180. The triangles are similar, so we can write a similarity statement: Triangle UVW ~ Triangle RST. Then, we can simplify 10/12 to find the scale factor, which is 5/6. Therefore, the answer is option 2.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
