whether the given pair of solids is similar or not
Answer to Problem 9PPS
The given solids are not similar.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
In the first triangular prism the sides of the
In the second triangular prism the sides of the triangle base are 5 cm, 8 cm, 8 cm and the length of the prism is 16 cm.
The objective is to check whether the two figure are similar or not.
Two solid figures are similar if they have the same shape and their corresponding linear measurements are proportional.
In the given figure both are triangular prism, so the solids are of same shape. Now check that whether the corresponding linear measurements are proportional or not.
Suppose the corresponding linear measurements are proportional, so
Since the result obtained is false, so the corresponding linear measurements of the given solids are not proportional.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the given solids are not similar.
