Q:

If ΔEFG ~ ΔLMN with a ratio of 2:1, which of the following is true? segment EF over segment LM equals segment FG over segment MN segment EF is congruent to segment LM segment EF over segment LM equals segment EG over segment LM segment EG is congruent to segment LM

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:   segment EF over segment LM equals segment FG over segment MNStep-by-step explanation:The triangles are similar, not congruent, so any answer choice with the word "congruent" can be ignored.The sequence of letters in the triangle name tells you the corresponding segments:EF corresponds to LMEG corresponds to LNFG corresponds to MNCorresponding segments have the same ratio, so ...   EF/LM = FG/MN . . . . . . matches the first answer choice   EF/LM = EG/LN . . . . does not match the 3rd answer choice
