OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its A but not sure

OpenStudy (welshfella):

as you may know aleady similar means the same shape consider them all in turn: are all rectangles the same shape?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

of course some will be a lot larger than others but its the ratio of the sides of each that matter. heres 2:-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (welshfella):

- now i've drawn them i'm not sure about rectangles I'm sure about equilateral triangles C is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (welshfella):

trapezoids will not always be similar |dw:1424206606810:dw|

OpenStudy (welshfella):

You don't have to type a long paragraph I just need a yes or no answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can just ask someone else.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

well I cant de definite about the rectangle but I'm sure hexagram and trapezoid are not always similar but equilateral triangle is.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

if theres only one answer then its C

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right - the 2 rectangles drawn are obviously not the same shape though all the angles are the same so its not A Just C @Blahnah
