i would say yes but i dont know why

geerky42 (geerky42):

This is trick question... Is this question all you are given? Do it say that figures are rectangle?

geerky42 (geerky42):

If they don't say that they are rectangle, I would say no because AB could be slightly smaller then DC and EF could be slightly larger than HG, making them not similar, don't you think?

its C they are congrunent @helpmeplas

geerky42 (geerky42):

Well, we don't know if angle A and E are same... Try check if given side lengths are proportional; is \(\dfrac{20}{36} = \dfrac{30}{52}\)? If no, then answer is B.
