Rectangles ABCD and EFGH are shown. BC equals 40, CD equals 20, FG equals 30, GH equals 12. Angles ABC and EFG are marked congruent and angles BCD and FGH are marked congruent


No; the corresponding sides are not proportional.
Yes; the corresponding sides are proportional.
Yes; the corresponding angles are proportional.
No; the corresponding angles are not proportional.

Answer 2

Hello

Answer 3

no, the sides are not proportional

Answer 4

3/4 of 20 is 15, not 12

Answer 5

wait explain how you got this answer

Answer 6

BC corresponds to FG and CD corresponds to GH, agree?

Answer 7

but dont you have to like 30 over 40 and 12 over 20 multiply them across or something

Answer 8

my idea is to assume that they are similiar, then I can figure out the proportionality by taking ratio of the corresponding sides, then apply it to the other pair of corresponding sides and see if they match, if they dont that contradiction happen and we dont have similiar figure

Answer 9

put it to math would be calculate 30/40 which is 3/4, apply it to the other pair of sides, so 20*3/4 is 15, but we have a side of 12, therefore this proportionality doesnt hold and we conclude that the two figures are not similiar

Answer 10

Ohhhhh

Answer 11

mind helping me with other problem ill make new post

Answer 12

sure go ahead and tag me, I got a few mintues before I pass out I guess
