To tell if the kites are similar, I would count how wide is the first kite (at its widest point)
Can you do that ?

Do I have to add up all the points ?

Answer 8

Im sorry I am not too well on questions like these

Answer 9

count how many "boxes"

Answer 10

put your finger on point D, and count how many boxes to get to point R

Answer 11

The bigger shape is 8 boxes wide

Answer 12

the small box is 2 boxes wide

Answer 13

yes. Now do that for the smaller kite (although now up, because it is lying in a different direction)

Answer 14

from point a to b ? vertically ?

Answer 15

we want to know how long in the same direction. Yes a to b
(because that matches what you did on the big kite)

Answer 16

from point A to B is 4 boxes :D

Answer 17

Yes. It is like asking how tall are you, and then you lie down. we still want to measure from your feet to your head.

Answer 18

:) so small shape is 4 boxes and big shape is 8 boxes wide

Answer 19

so the big kite is 2 times bigger than the small kite

now check the other direction. what do you get

Answer 20

From Y to E is 4 boxes and from D to R is 2 Boxes .

Answer 21

notice the big kite is 2 times bigger than the smaller kite.
(if we got a different number, then they would *not* be similar)
one last thing to check.
how many boxes from the cross part up to the tip?
in other words, how far straight up from D to B ? 1 step
in the big kite it is 2 steps.

still 2 times bigger.

Answer 22

Ahh I see ! From D to B is 1 box and from Y to K is 2 boxes c:
