Mikel is determining if the two triangles below could be similar based on their side lengths.
Triangle R S T. Side R S is 3 centimeters, side S T is 6 centimeters, and side R T is 8 centimeters. Triangle W X U. Side W X is 18 centimeters, side X U is 7.5 centimeters, and side W U is 15 centimeters.
Which statements accurately describe the triangles? Check all that apply.
The common ratio between the triangles is 3 because StartFraction 18 Over 6 EndFraction = 3.
The common ratio between the triangles is 2.5 because StartFraction 7.5 Over 3 EndFraction = 2.5.
The triangles could be similar.
The triangles could not be similar.
The ratios of the side lengths are not consistent.
The ratios of the side lengths are consistent
