dumbcow · Answer

No it doesn't mean they are similar thats why its a stupid question

it really should ask , are they proportional?

anonymous · Answer

idk if they're proportional. i just wanna know if theyre similar so who wants to tell me?:(

dumbcow · Answer

common usage of "similar" isnt same as geometry term

hartnn · Answer

when corresponding sides are proportional, the two figures are similar.

anonymous · Answer

9:12  it's a 3:4 ratio

18:27 is a 2:3 ratio, so it doesn't look similar to me

anonymous · Answer

@hartnn  SO are the two figures similar or not?

hartnn · Answer

so, u just need to figure out whether  9/12 equals 18/27 or not

hartnn · Answer

figure out by yourself :)

dumbcow · Answer

FML well I don't think they are. so if anyone disagrees let me know quickkk
