Which statement is correct about the two pentagons? They are similar because the ratio of corresponding sides of pentagon DEFGH to pentagon IJKLM is 3:1. They are not similar because is 1:2, and is 2:1. They are similar because the ratio of corresponding sides of pentagon DEFGH to pentagon IJKLM is 2:1.

@amistre64

OpenStudy (amistre64):

youre gonna need to determine wither the side lengths; or simply go by the over and up parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can yu help me do it?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

maybe, lets start getting info for the sides to compare with

OpenStudy (amistre64):

G to H, if i count this right; is -3 over and 6 up L to M is its counterpart is -2 over and 3 up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pretty sure its B because the sides arent proportional might be wrong but yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

is -3/6 equal to -2/3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no wait no it is not

OpenStudy (amistre64):

since the ratio of moving isnt the same between them; they aint similar are they; so its either B or D at this point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

dunno, youve got information missing in the post :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you cut and pasted the text and it has certain .... defects .... that cant be converted to plaintext they are not similar because is 1:2, and is 2:1. ^ ^ ? ? they are most likely line segment notations

OpenStudy (amistre64):

option D has the same issues

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B right ;D

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you have a pentagon (5sided) in your original; and this is for an octagon (8sided) your options dont match up with your question :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops my bad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohand can you help me with another question :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

HD = 5up 6over MI = 2up 3over and they say this is a 1:2 ratio? since HD is large and MI is small, my gut says it aint B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh got it thank you and can you help me with another problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A similar toy figure is represented by hexagon TUVWXY. What is the ordered pair of point W on hexagon TUVWXY? (Note: You must include parentheses and a comma when typing the ordered pair.)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if you type this in a new question, others would be able to help as well :)
