a. Find all the sides of A HKG if the ratio of similarity is 1: 3.
b. What are the measures of the other angles of the two triangles if mzP = 30 and mzK = 100?
Solution:
a. Since the corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional and the ratio of similarity is 1:3;

g = (6)(3)
g = 18
Therefore, HK = 18 cm
h = (4)(3)
h = 12
KG = 12 cm
k = (8)(3)
k = 24
HG = 24 cm
b. Since ΔΜΝΡ~ΔHKG and
ZP corresponds to ZG, then ZP =4 G. Therefore, mzG = 30.
ZK corresponds to ZN, then zK ZN. Therefore, mzN = 100.
Since the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180, and ZM corresponds to ZH, then
180 - (mzK + mzG).
Therefore, mzM = mzH = 180 - (100 + 30) = 50
mzM = mzH
