Determine if the two triangles shown are similar. If so, write the similarity statement. Question 16 options:

A)

ΔSUD ∼ ΔTUE

B)

Impossible to determine.

C)

The triangles are not similar.

D)

ΔSUD ∼ ΔEUT

C) The triangles are not similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

These triangles are not similar. Similar triangles are triangles with the same angle measurements and proportionate side measures. However, these sides are not proportionate and therefore the triangles are not similar. You can tell the sides are not proportionate because on one triangle the two given sides (which are corresponding with the other two given sides) are congruent but the other triangle has no congruent sides. This also means that the smaller triangle is isosceles while the larger one is scalene, and different triangle types cannot be similar.
