Do two similar parallelograms have equal area?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Hint: These two parallelograms are similar because their corresponding sides form the same ratio |dw:1353368865314:dw|

so the answer will be true since they correspond?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

are those 2 areas equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, because similar parallelograms are parallelograms that have proportional dimensions:|dw:1353368939399:dw|^ as you can see, the dimensions are proportional not the same making their areas different :)
