Determine if triangle M, N, OMNO and triangle P, Q, RPQR are or are not similar, and, if they are, state how you know. (Note that figures are NOT necessarily drawn to scale.)

Tri onm is a tri that is a 10 by 9 by 11
while Tri pqr is a 40 by 44 by?

Compare side ratios. If the 10-, 11-, 9-side triangle is scaled by 4 you get sides 40, 44, 36. Indeed 40/10 = 44/11 = 4, so the third side must be 9·4 = 36.

- If the missing side = 36, then triangles are similar (SSS similarity: all three side ratios equal 4).
- If the missing side is not 36, they are not similar (the side ratios are not all equal).

okay so if they are simmaler then that means what
