Answer 5

really need help

Answer 6

please help

Answer 7

Check if the lengths and angles of corresponding sides are in a constant ratio (in this case 2 (or 1/2, depends on which one is the image).

Answer 8

im pretty sure that they aren't similar

Answer 9

but im not sure how to explain

Answer 10

Give one counter example. If you find it, you're right.

Answer 11

well the angles don't correspond

Answer 12

nor do the sides

Answer 13

but it needs to be more specific

Answer 14

The sides are in a ratio, and the angles are to be equal.
You can only compare angles by the ratio of the respective x and y-projections.
Example:
CD has x-projection of 4, and y-projection of 2.
JK has x-projection of 2, and y-projection of 1.
Since 4/2=2/1, they are in a ratio of 2, so this side is satisfactory.
Check all the other sides to complete your evaluation.
