ILL MEDAL!!! Which of these conditions might be true if polygons ABCD and KLMN are similar?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The measures of corresponding angles of ABCD and KLMN are equal, but the lengths of corresponding sides of ABCD are half those of KLMN. The measures of corresponding angles of ABCD and KLMN are in the ratio 1 : 2, but the lengths of corresponding sides of ABCD and KLMN are not proportional. The lengths of corresponding sides of ABCD and KLMN are equal, but the measures of corresponding angles of ABCD and KLMN are not equal. The lengths of corresponding sides of ABCD and KLMN are proportional, but the measures of corresponding angles of ABCD and KLMN are not equal. The measures of corresponding angles of ABCD and KLMN are not proportional, but the lengths of corresponding sides of ABCD and KLMN are proportional.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, do you know what similar figures are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! when both figures are the same thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite. When both figures have the same shape, not necessairly the same size

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so with that information, what can you deduce?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A hint, the angles will be the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was there a picture with this or no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh, I was a kinda close lol. and no there's no pcture sadly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe its C The lengths of corresponding sides of ABCD and KLMN are equal, but the measures of corresponding angles of ABCD and KLMN are not equal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i feel like im wrong xD second guessing myself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that it's A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the first one a description or an actuall choice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because if it is a similar figure, the corresponding angles would be equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a actual choice that's given, and i was gonna go with a too but just went with c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you should have gone with A. But tell me if you get it right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol okay hold on :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is D, because A is saying that its half the size of the original polygon, and C is just wrong lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

interesting, i need to brush up on this subject then. thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're fine, thank you anyways means a lot ! <3
