Are these triangles similar? If so, state the scale factor.

Similar tri 4

Possible Answers:

No, they are not similar

Yes - scale factor

Yes - scale factor

Yes - scale factor

Not enough information

Correct answer:

No, they are not similar

Explanation:

Based on their positions relative to the congruent angles, and their relative lengths, we can see that 1.5 corresponds to 6, and 8 corresponds to 30. If the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, then the triangles are congruent: 

We can compare these in a couple different ways. One would be to cross-multiply:

These triangles are not similar.
