If triangle GHI is similar to triangle JKL and the length of GH is 12 and JK is 8, what is the missing length of HI if IJ is 10?

Back

15 (Using the scale factor of 3/2)

Front

What is the definition of similar triangles?

Back

Triangles that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size; their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Front

If the scale factor of two similar triangles is 2:3, and the length of one side of the smaller triangle is 6, what is the length of the corresponding side in the larger triangle?

Back

9 (Using the scale factor)

Front

What is the relationship between the angles of similar triangles?

Back

The corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal.

Front

If triangle PQR is similar to triangle STU and the length of PQ is 14 and ST is 7, what is the scale factor?
