Similar shapes may or may not have equal lengths

Triangles ABC and PRQ are similar by SSS

The corresponding sides on both triangles are:

AB = 8, and PQ = 6

AC = 12, and PR = 9

BC = 12, and QR = 9

Divide the corresponding sides, to determine the scale factor (k)

[tex]k = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{9}{12} = \frac{9}{12}[/tex]

Evaluate the quotients

[tex]k = 0.75 = 0.75 = 0.75[/tex]

Given that the scale factors are equal.

Hence, both triangles are similar by SSS
