Dora drew jkl and mnp so that k n, jk = 6, mn = 18, kl = 4, and np = 12. are jkl and mnp similar? if so, identify the similarity postulate or theorem that applies.
Given:
2 triangles
Triangle JKL
side 1: JK = 6
side 2: KL = 4
Triangle MNP
side 1: MN = 18
side 2: NP = 12
Two triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the ratio of their corresponding sides are in proportion.
JK / KL = MN / NP
6/4 = 18/12
612 = 418
72 = 72
