Determine whether the triangles are similar. If they are, write a similarity statement. Explain your reasoning.

The triangles are not similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at ratios of corresponding sides. If the triangles are similar, all the ratios will be equal.

Compare a side from with a side from .

16/20 = 4/5

12/15 = 4/5  (looks promising, so far!)

20/26 = 10/13   Not at all the same as 4/5, so the triangles are not similar.

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value
