For the triangles to be similar by the sss similarity theorem, what must be the value of y?

a. 18

b. 20

c. 24

d. 26

The value of the side y of triangle PQR is Option B is correct.

Further  explanation:

The similar triangles are those in which all the corresponding angles are equal and the sides are proportional.

There are many similarity rules and are as follows.

1. Angle Angle Angle (AAA)

2. Side Side Side (SSS)

3. Side Angle Side (SAS)

Given:

The side AB is equal to side BC.

The side AC is equal to 14.

The side PR is equal to 28.

Explanation:

The triangle ABC is similar to triangle PQR.

Therefore, the corresponding side of triangle ABC and triangle PQR are proportional.

The value of the side y of triangle PQR is

Option A is not correct

Option B is correct

Option C is not correct

Option D is not correct
