The triangles are not similar.

Which statement about the triangles below is true Triangle BCA Triangle HKG by SSS Triangle CAB Triangle GHK by SAS Triangle ABC Triangle HKG by SSS The triangl class=

Respuesta :

ITs the third option 
Sides are in same ratio so its SSS

We are given

In triangle ABC:

AB=24

BC=22

CA=18

In triangle HKG:

HK=12

KG=11

GH=9

now, we can find ratios

[tex] \frac{AB}{HK}= \frac{BC}{KG}=\frac{CA}{GH} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{24}{12}=\frac{22}{11}=\frac{18}{9} [/tex]

now, we can simplify it

[tex] 2=2=2 [/tex]

we can see that ratios of all sides are equal

we can use SSS method

so, both triangles are similar by SSS

Hence ,

Triangle ABC ~ Triangle HKG by SSS ~ ..........Answer
