Determine whether the triangles are similar. If they are, write a similarity statement. Explain your reasoning.

Answer:
The triangles are not similar.
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at ratios of corresponding sides. If the triangles are similar, all the ratios will be equal.
Compare a side from [tex]\triangle{RTS}[/tex] with a side from [tex]\triangle{MQP}[/tex].
16/20 = 4/5
12/15 = 4/5 (looks promising, so far!)
20/26 = 10/13 Not at all the same as 4/5, so the triangles are not similar.
