Question

Which triangle defined by the given points on the coordinate plane is similar to the triangle illustrated? A) (2, -2)(7, -2)(2, 5) B) (2, -2)(8, -2)(2, 5) C) (2, -2)(7, -2)(2, 6) D) (2, -2)(8, -2)(2, 6)

Answer 1

The Coordinates of the given triangles are  A) (2, -2)(7, -2)(2, 5)  B) (2, -2)(8, -2)(2, 5)   C) (2, -2)(7, -2)(2, 6)      D) (2, -2)(8, -2)(2, 6) .

Using distance formula between two points we can find the length of sides of the triangle.

Distance between $(x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2})=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_2-y_1)^2$

The two triangles are similar by following criterion

1.AA or AAA  2.SSS  3. SAS  Where A=angle ,S=side, Sides must be proportional

In  the four triangles given neither two of them  satisfies the above criteria .

So No two of them are similar to each other.  

Answer 2

The Coordinates of the given triangles are  A) (2, -2)(7, -2)(2, 5)  B) (2, -2)(8, -2)(2, 5)   C) (2, -2)(7, -2)(2, 6)      D) (2, -2)(8, -2)(2, 6) .

Using distance formula between two points we can find the length of sides of the triangle.
