The ratio of the corresponding sides is the same for each pair.
Divide the length of one side by the length of an adjacent side.
Without the triangles, no answer can be given.
To find the constant of proportionality or ratio of ( n ) to ( m ) in a triangle, you need to identify two corresponding lengths from similar triangles or a specific relationship between the sides. If ( n ) and ( m ) represent the lengths of two sides, the ratio can be calculated by dividing one length by the other (i.e., ( \text{Ratio} = \frac{n}{m} )). Ensure both sides are in the same unit of measurement for accuracy. If the triangles are similar, this ratio will remain consistent across all corresponding sides.
Since by definition corresponding sides of congruent shapes have the same length, the answer is 1.
