Question

Are the two figures below similar? Explain why or why not using complete sentences. Provide evidence to support your claims.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Yes, the figures are alike, as the size is proportional, with a ratio of 2:1, 2 being the larger heptagon (seven-sided shape), and 1 being the smaller. In case you didn't know, our ratio of 2:1 would be for every 2 units (feet, inches, etc.) on the larger shape, there is 1unit on the smaller. In your case, no units are given, so they are called the generic "units."
