Asked by Stephanie

Suppose you find the ratio of the lengths of adjacent sides in a parallelogram. This ratio is equivalent to the ratio of the adjacent sides in another parallelogram. Are the figures similar? Explain.
Answered by Reiny
Not necessarily.
The angles could be different, thus not similar

Imagine the second figure having hinges at the vertices and you "squish" the figure.

Isn't this a question in a 7th grade savaas book?
