given:
Triangle A:6cm,8cm,10cm
Triangle B:9cm,12cm,18cm
Find the ratios of corresponding sides in these triangles.
r=6cm%3A9cm=6%2F9=2%2F3
r=8cm%3A12cm=8%2F12=2%2F3
r=10cm%3A18cm=10%2F18=5%2F9
Are the triangles similar?
since only two corresponding sides have the same ratio, the triangles are not similar
