The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find which triangles are similar to triangle ABC based on the given ratio of angles, which is 2:3:4. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Ratio of Angles**: The angles of triangle ABC are in the ratio of 2:3:4. Let's denote the angles as: - Angle A = 2x - Angle B = 3x - Angle C = 4x 2. **Finding the Value of x**: The sum of angles in any triangle is 180 degrees. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 2x + 3x + 4x = 180 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 9x = 180 \] Dividing both sides by 9, we find: \[ x = 20 \] 3. **Calculating the Angles**: Now we can find the actual angles of triangle ABC: - Angle A = 2x = 2(20) = 40 degrees - Angle B = 3x = 3(20) = 60 degrees - Angle C = 4x = 4(20) = 80 degrees 4. **Identifying Similar Triangles**: We need to check which of the given triangles have angles that are in the same ratio as 40:60:80 or equivalently 2:3:4. - **Option A**: Triangle DEF has angles in the ratio 4:3:2. This does not match. - **Option B**: Triangle TQR has angles in the ratio 1:2:3. This does not match. - **Option C**: Triangle LMN has angles in the ratio 1:1:1. This does not match. - **Option D**: Triangle MRQ has angles in the ratio 3:2:4. This does not match. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the triangles that are similar to triangle ABC are those that have angles in the same ratio of 2:3:4. Therefore, the correct options are: - Triangle DEF (4:3:2) is not similar. - Triangle TQR (1:2:3) is not similar. - Triangle LMN (1:1:1) is not similar. - Triangle MRQ (3:2:4) is not similar. Thus, the answer is that none of the given options are similar to triangle ABC based on the angle ratios provided.
