How would I solve this?
The triangles are similar by SSS similarity criterion:
Let, the first triangle = Δ ABC
Second triangle = Δ PQR
then, Δ ABC = 3 × Δ PQR
Their sides are proportional to each other, and gives three when dividing smaller triangle side with corresponding side of larger triangle
Hope this helps!
The criterion is that:
The ratio of corresponding sides of both triangles are the same.
8/24 = 1/3
4/12 = 1/3
12/36 = 1/3
So both triangles are similar, because ratio of corresponding sides are the same.
