Ill fan and medal! Are the polygon's similar?
Where are they?
please explain the work
@TheRaggedyDoctor
Well.. what do you think?
Are they similar?
well no i dont think they are similar

@Compassionate
two polygons are similar when they have all the angles same...so did you check all the angles?
yea but how do i do the work i need help
you can draw a parallel line to the horizontal line and if you will check their sin of the angle they will be different
@joeylup they are similar
how?

@TheRaggedyDoctor
it don't matter with the size if its the same shape then its similar no matter what
In triangles, AA (all angles equal) will imply similarity of triangles. The same rule (all angles equal) does not guarantee similarity of polygons of 4 or more sides, see counter example below: |dw:1433249090711:dw|
To guarantee similarity of polygons, we must have 1. all angles equal, and 2. at least n-1 \(corresponding\) sides proportional, n is the number of sides of the polygon.
Ok guys i get it now thx for the help @mathmate
It's not done! The question is flawed!
yea i know but i know what to do
|dw:1433249544160:dw| is sufficient to prove that the two polygons are similar, because the two squares are similar, and the two triangles are also similar. @joeylup
