Question

Which statement is correct about the two kites?

A) They are similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:2 and Segment KE to segment YK 1:2.
B)They are similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:3 and Segment KE to segment YK is 1:3
C) They are not similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:2 and Segment KE to segment YK is 1:3.
D) They are not similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:3 and Segment KE to segment YK is 1:2.

Answer 1

look at the distance DR and ER.. the ratio is 5/10 or 1/2 look at ratio BA and KL 4:6 or 2/3

ratios are different so the kites are not similar

Use pythagoras' theorem to find the lengths of BR, BD and KE and YE... check the ratios of the corresponding sides.

that should help to answer the question
