Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Determining Triangle Similarity**
**Description:**
State whether the triangles are similar. If so, write a similarity statement and the postulate or theorem you used.
**Diagram:**
The diagram depicts two triangles positioned adjacent to each other:
1. **Triangle \( \triangle OMN \)**:
- Points: \( O, M, N \)
- Sides: \( OJ = 18 \), \( JM = 6 \), \( KN = 1 \), \( KJ = 3 \)
2. **Triangle \( \triangle OIK \)**:
- Points: \( O, I, K \)
**Similarity Statement Options:**
- \( \triangle OMN \sim \triangle IKO; \) SAS \( \text{Similarity}\)
- \( \triangle OMN \sim \triangle OJK; \) SSS \( \text{Similarity}\)
- \( \triangle OMN \sim \triangle OJK; \) SAS \( \text{Similarity}\)
- The triangles are not similar
**Notes:**
The correct determination can be based on comparing the side lengths and angles of the triangles. Use your knowledge of similar triangles and the corresponding similarity postulates (SAS - Side-Angle-Side, SSS - Side-Side-Side) to derive the correct statement.
