Good deal, then my response becomes far less complicated.

In order for any two polygons to be similar there are two conditions that have to be satisfied.
1) All angles are congruent
2) Sides will be proportional
(the second means that the sides of one triangle were multiplied by the same number to get the sides of the other)

Where are you having trouble doing this?
