Question

what is true about these 2 polygons

Answer 1

They don't exist.

Answer 2

Oh. now they do.

Answer 3

Hey both are similar, maybe?

Answer 4

yepp patience is a virtue :D

Answer 5

however if they are similar i have to write a ratio proving them similar

Answer 6

LOl.

Answer 7

There two more things true about these two polygons.
-They both are four sided figures.
-They both are parallelograms.

Answer 8

ok that i already assumed is but what i dont understand is how to form the ratio

Answer 9

i think the ratio is 10:1.2 is that correct?

Answer 10

I don't think so. Match up the angles to determine corresponding sides.

Answer 11

wait i flipped values **** 5:1.2***

Answer 12

That's more reasonable. I would suggest that you check the other corresponding sides to make sure the ratio is equal.

Answer 13

Something doesn't look right. Are you sure they are similar?

Answer 14

I think they're similar because of 120* angles.

Answer 15

@gypsy1274 no im not entirely sure on these

Answer 16

I thought so too, but the proportion of the sides don't match.

Answer 17

True^

Answer 18

No, congruent would be corresponding sides are equal - they are not equal or proportional.

Answer 19

Oh no.

Answer 20

so not similar then

Answer 21

So, the question is "What do we know?"
You're right. I would say that we know they are not similar.

Answer 22

We also know how many sides each figure has.

Answer 23

yes

Answer 24

Do you know if the sides are parallel?

Answer 25

the opposite sides are parallel (parallelograms)

Answer 26

I would say yes, but I don't remember the acceptable proof of that. I think just the opposing sides being congruent would be the proof.

Answer 27

There is also something we know about the angles, I think.
