2. Are the polygons similar? If they are, write a similarity and give the scale factor. The figures are not drawn to scale.

OpenStudy (popitree):

check the ratio, as angle is same 6/4.5 and 2.8/2.1

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

A. TUWV=DEFG;4.5:2.8 B. TUWV=EFGD;6:2.1 C. TUWV=DEFG;6:4.5 D. THE POLYGONS ARE NOT SIMILAR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, they are. This is like that triangle problem. To be similar, they need to have a ratio in between all of their numbers. First, match up the shapes by the 110 degrees, so rotate the one on the left so they match. Then, just divide each side from bigger to smaller (2.8/2.1 and 6/4.5) and you'll get your ratio.

OpenStudy (popitree):

correct, so u can get the ans

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

1.3

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

divided it

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

So A?
