To show that the triangles \( \Delta ABC \) and \( \Delta PQR \) are similar, we will calculate the lengths of their sides and then compare the ratios of the corresponding sides. ### Step 1: Calculate the lengths of the sides of triangle \( \Delta ABC \) 1. **Calculate length \( AB \)**: \[ AB = \sqrt{(2 - (-2))^2 + (0 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{(2 + 2)^2} = \sqrt{4^2} = 4 \] ...
