Triangle ABC is similar to triangle PQR, as shown below:

Two similar triangles ABC and PQR are shown. Triangle ABC has sides AB = c, BC = a, and AC = b. Triangle PQR has sides PQ = r,
Which ratio is equal to b:q? (1 point)


b:a

c:r

r:a

q:c

Respuesta :

∆ABC~∆PQR

AB~PQ , c~r

c:r

Answer:

The correct option is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that triangles ABC and PQR are similar triangles.

The sides of the triangle ABC are AB = c, BC = a, and AC = b. Triangle PQR has sides PQ = r, QR=p and PR=q.

If two triangles are similar, then their corresponding sides proportional.

Since ABC and PQR are similar triangles, therefore

[tex]\frac{AB}{PQ}=\frac{BC}{QR}=\frac{AC}{PR}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{c}{r}=\frac{a}{p}=\frac{b}{q}[/tex]

It can be written as

[tex]\frac{c}{r}=\frac{b}{q}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{a}{p}=\frac{b}{q}[/tex]

Therefore b:q is equal to c:r or a:p. Option 2 is correct.
