Sample Questions
Which of the following conditions are sufficient to prove two triangles are similar?
Show answer
Two angles of one triangle equal to two angles of another, All three sides proportional, Two sides proportional and included angle equal, All three angles equal
The similarity tests are: AA (two angles equal), SSS (all three sides proportional), SAS (two sides proportional with included angle equal), and AAA (all angles equal). One side and one angle being equal is not sufficient for similarity.
If three parallel lines make intercepts AB = 4 cm and BC = 6 cm on one transversal, and intercept PQ = 6 cm on another transversal, find QR.
Show answer
9 cm
By the property of parallel lines and transversals, AB/BC = PQ/QR. Substituting: 4/6 = 6/QR. Cross multiplying: 4 × QR = 6 × 6 = 36. Therefore QR = 36/4 = 9 cm.
True or False: If two triangles have all corresponding angles equal, they are necessarily congruent.
Show answer
False
False. If two triangles have all corresponding angles equal, they are similar but not necessarily congruent. Congruence requires equal corresponding sides as well. Similar triangles can have different sizes.
In triangles ABC and DEF, AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm, CA = 10 cm, DE = 9 cm, EF = 12 cm, FD = 15 cm. What is the ratio of similarity?
Show answer
2:3
Check if sides are proportional: AB/DE = 6/9 = 2/3, BC/EF = 8/12 = 2/3, CA/FD = 10/15 = 2/3. Since all ratios are equal, the triangles are similar with ratio 2:3.
