@surjithayer ?? D:

Answer 9

they are similar if sides are proportional.
\[\frac{ 6 }{ 2.8 }=\frac{ 4.5 }{ 2.1 }\]
\[\frac{ 60 }{ 28 }=\frac{ 45 }{ 21 }\]
\[\frac{ 15 }{ 7 }=\frac{ 15 }{ 7 }\]
which is true.

Answer 10

scale factors=6:4.5

Answer 11

Oh! It makes more sense now.
Thanks!

Answer 12

Note: @rockinhood
Conditions are as above suggested by @surgithayer, PLUS at least one angle congruent (110 degrees). The two parallelograms are still similar, but do not forget the angle condition.
