Which of the two solids below are similar A I and II B I and II C II and II D I II and I E None of the solids are similar class=

Respuesta :

Answer:  I and II.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, two solids are similar if their corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

Knowing this, let's find which solids are similar:

Corresponding sides ratio of solids I and II:

[tex]\frac{3}{2}=\frac{2}{\frac{4}{3}}=\frac{5}{\frac{10}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{2}=\frac{3}{2}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Corresponding sides ratio of solids I and III:

[tex]\frac{3}{\frac{9}{2}}=\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Corresponding sides ratio of solids II and III:

[tex]\frac{2}{\frac{9}{2}}=\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{3}}=\frac{\frac{10}{3}}{8}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{9}=\frac{4}{9}=\frac{5}{12}[/tex]

 You can observe that the solids  I and II are similar.
