check out angles JKL and DEF For the figures to be similar corresponding angles must be equal.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

are these 2 angles equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no they are not

OpenStudy (welshfella):

exactly That proves that the figures are not similar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (welshfella):

why the angles are not equal ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why the figures are not equal, thats the question they asked me and idk how to explain :/

OpenStudy (welshfella):

well because the 2 angles mentioned above are not equal then the 2 figures cannot be similar becuase similar figures are the same shape ( that is their corresponding angles are all equal)
