Determine if triangle GHI and triangle JKL are or are not similar, and, if they are, state how you know. (Note that figures are
NOT necessarily drawn to scale.)

Answer 1

Answer:

ΔGHI is similar to ΔJKL by AA similarity.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal to each other and their corresponding sides in proportion.

Rules of similar triangles:

• AA similarity: Two pairs of corresponding angles are equal.
• SSS similarity: All the three pairs of corresponding sides are proportional.
• SAS similarity: Two pairs of corresponding sides are proportional and the corresponding angles between them are equal.

In the given triangles GHI and JKL,

      ∠G = ∠J = 34°

      ∠I = ∠L = 49°

ΔGHI is similar to ΔJKL by AA similarity.
