Triangle ABC is similar to triangle PQR, as shown below: which equation is correct?
Answer:
B) [tex]\frac{p}{a}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{r}{c}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Triangle ABC is similar to triangle PQR, as shown below.
To find : which equation is correct.
Solution : We have given triangle ABC and PRR.
Both the triangles are similar .
Similar triangle : When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal.
AC corresponding to PR .
AB corresponding to PQ .
BC corresponding to QR .
Then ratio :
[tex]\frac{r}{c}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{p}{a}[/tex] .
Therefore, B) [tex]\frac{p}{a}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{r}{c}[/tex] .
