The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to show that the triangles ABC and PQR are similar based on the given ratios of their corresponding sides. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Ratios**: We are given that: \[ \frac{AB}{QR} = \frac{BC}{PR} = \frac{CA}{PQ} \] This means that the ratios of the lengths of the corresponding sides of triangles ABC and PQR are equal. **Hint**: Look for the relationship between the sides of the triangles to establish a similarity condition. 2. **Identifying Corresponding Sides**: From the ratios, we can identify: - Side AB corresponds to side QR - Side BC corresponds to side PR - Side CA corresponds to side PQ **Hint**: Make sure to match each side of triangle ABC with the correct side of triangle PQR. 3. **Using the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Similarity Criterion**: Since the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal, we can apply the Side-Side-Side (SSS) similarity criterion. According to this criterion, if the ratios of the lengths of the corresponding sides of two triangles are equal, then the triangles are similar. **Hint**: Remember that for triangles to be similar, the corresponding angles must also be equal. 4. **Concluding Similarity**: Therefore, we conclude that: \[ \Delta ABC \sim \Delta PQR \] This means triangle ABC is similar to triangle PQR. **Hint**: Write down the similarity statement clearly to avoid confusion. 5. **Identifying Other Corresponding Triangles**: Based on the similarity established, we can also state: - Triangle BCA is similar to triangle RQP - Triangle CAB is similar to triangle PQR **Hint**: Similarity can be transitive; if one triangle is similar to another, you can find other similar pairs. ### Final Answer: Thus, we can conclude that triangles ABC and PQR are similar, and the correct option is that triangle ABC is similar to triangle PQR.

To solve the problem, we need to show that the triangles ABC and PQR are similar based on the given ratios of their corresponding sides. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Ratios**: We are given that: \[ \frac{AB}{QR} = \frac{BC}{PR} = \frac{CA}{PQ} ...
