Can someone tell me if why these triangles are similar

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangles given in the picture are similar,

ΔVUT ~ ΔVLM

By the property of similarity of two triangles, their corresponding sides will be proportional.

True.

Therefore, ΔVUT and ΔVLM will be similar.

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
