2. Are the polygons similar? If they are, write a similarity statement and give the scale factor. The figures are
not drawn to scale.
(1 point)
ABCD ~ KLMN; 7.2:1.8
ABCD ~ KLMN; 3:1.8
ABCD ~ NKLM; 3:5.4
The polygons are not similar.

@Loser66 can u help me
Directrix (directrix):
The two polygons are parallelograms because each has both pairs of opposite sides congruent.

so is it a @Directrix
OpenStudy (love10129151):
A
OpenStudy (love10129151):
or C
Directrix (directrix):
A does not look good because the the ratios of corresponding sides are not in proportion
7.2/5.4 = 3/1.8 = 7.2/5.4 = 3/5.4 is not true.
OpenStudy (love10129151):
so A @Directrix

@love10129151
You wrote the same thing twice for A and B
Is this correct?
A) ABCD ~ KLMN;
B) ABCD ~ KLMN;
OpenStudy (love10129151):
ABCD ~ KLMN; 7.2:1.8
ABCD ~ KLMN; 3:1.8
ABCD ~ NKLM; 3:5.4
The polygons are not similar.

yes it is correct
Directrix (directrix):
These side are not in proportion. So, I don't see how the polygons could be similar even though some of the angle pairs are.

Well, that is what I am thinking. You may want to get a second opinion.
