In triangle RST, RS = 10, RT = 15, and angle R = 32. In triangle UVW, UV=12, UW = 18, and angle U = 32. Are these polygons similar?
The corresponding sides are in the same ratio.
The triangles are similar.
Draw a sketch of the two triangles and fill in the given values. We have been given the lengths of corresponding sides. The combination is "two sides and the included angle in each case.

Yes, these triangles are similar because they have the same angle measure (angle R = angle U = 32 degrees) and their corresponding sides are proportional (RS/UV = 10/12 = 5/6, RT/UW = 15/18 = 5/6).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
