HELP DUE IN 30 MINS! 13. Are the triangles similar? Yes or No

14. Which postulate justifies your answer to #13?

A. SSS~ Postulate

B. SAS~ Postulate

C. AA~ Postulate

D. They are not similar.

15. What is the similarity ratio (scale factor) of the larger triangle to the smaller triangle?

similarity ratio =??

13.

The ratio of corresponding sides:

24/40 = 3/518/30 = 3/5

Congruent angles

∠ABE ≅ ∠DBC (vertical angles)Yes

14

SAS- two sides are similar and the included angle is congruent

15

Similarity ratio is 3/5 as calculated above

The first one, i believe, would be correct. all the others have one thing in common, and that's that they have repeating numbers. in the second one, x and y have repeating 6's and 3's, and in the third, x and y have repeating 6's as well. in the last one, there are repeating 3's. the first one has no repeating numbers.
