Anything geometry related, I can't really help with, sorry :(

alekos · Answer

they dont look similar to me

anonymous · Answer

What is your reasoning?

alekos · Answer

because angle BCD doesnt equal angle IJK

anonymous · Answer

What about this one? Was I correct?

alekos · Answer

yeah thats fine. these triangles are similar

>> because angle BCD doesnt equal angle IJK

I don't see any reason to conclude that to be the case.

If the two figures are similar, the lengths of corresponding sides must be in proportion.

FG/MN = 1/1 which is inconsistent with the other corresponding sides which are given to be in a 2 to 2 ratio.

Therefore, the figures are not similar.

alekos · Answer

I agree, but if the sides are in proportion, then the angles will also be equal

directrix · Answer

>>>but if the sides are in proportion, then the angles will also be equal

Not true. @alekos

These two quadrilaterals have sides in proportion but the angles are not congruent.
