MEDAL AND FAN! Are the following figures similar? a. Yes; the corresponding angles are congruent b. No; the corresponding angles are not congruent c. Yes; the corresponding sides are proportional d. No; the corresponding sides are not proportional I think the answer is C? I'm not really sure.

The sides are not proportional.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

20/10 = 2 so the ratio is 2:1 2 *2 = 4 the sides on the second figure have 5 and not 4 so they are not proportional

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

You need to be careful and look closely at every edge.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then would it be A? Or are they just not similar? I don't really know how to do this because this an assignment that you take BEFORE you learn it, so I haven't learned how to do these things yet.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer is D? Since they're not proportional.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think there similar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep answer D

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

The angles have nothing to do with this since they don't give us the values of the angles. What does it mean when the sides of two figures are not fully proportional?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They're not similar?

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

exactly
