Question

anybody know how to help me out with this problem

Answer 1

what is the question?

Answer 2

Match the vertices of the congruent angles of the two similar polygons.

Quadrilateral JNHE ~ Quadrilateral JPLK

Corresponding sides of similar polygons are in proportion.

You can get the scale factor by forming a ratio of corresponding sides such as HN and LP.

Scale Factor: 18: 24

Answer 4

What I'm getting frustrated with I think 28 goes over 24 and 24 goes over 36 but I don't know what to do with the 18 and 12

Answer 5

The question asked for the scale factor but did not indicate whether the scale factor is from smaller polygon to larger OR larger to smaller.

Quadrilateral JNHE ~ Quadrilateral JPLK goes from smaller to larger.

You only have to get one pair of corresponding sides to get the scale factor.

You can get the scale factor by forming a ratio of corresponding sides such as HN and LP.

Scale Factor: 18: 24 which is the same as 3/4.
