1. Problem Description
We are given that triangles and are similar. We need to find which of the given ratios is equal to .
2. Solution Steps
Since , the corresponding sides are proportional.
This means:
We are looking for a ratio that is equal to . Since and , we can rewrite the required ratio as .
From the similarity relation, we have .
Also, .
Let's look at the given options:
A. . This is the inverse of . So . Therefore . The options are not correct because is the same as , therefore A can be rewritten as . This is the correct match, hence .
B. . This is not in the same form as .
C. . Since is the same as , this becomes , which is the inverse of . So . Since is equal to , it is the inverse of what we want. Therefore C is not the answer.
Therefore, the answer should be A. The ratio is equal to which is the same as .
3. Final Answer
A.
