Similar polygons have corresponding angles congruent (so the corresponding angles are in a 1:1 ratio).

Similar polygons have corresponding sides that are proportional.

So, if UT/CH = 2/5, then the other 3 pairs of corresponding sides are also in the ratio 2:5.

@V1r3z  From the definition of similar polygons, do you see which option is false?

angle M to angle P is one to one? @Directrix

directrix · Answer

>> angle M to angle P is one to one  is true.

Similar polygons have corresponding angles congruent (so the corresponding angles are in a 1:1 ratio).

line segment P H to line segment M T is five to two @Directrix

directrix · Answer

Nope, that is not it. 

MT is to PH as 2/5 so inverting; PH is to MT as 5 is to 2.

anonymous · Answer

line segment P H to line segment M T is five to two

directrix · Answer

Nope.

The ANGLES have to be congruent so they are in a one to one ratio.

Look at the options. Do you see any angles listed that are not in a one to one ratio?
