Determine whether the two figures are similar. If so, give the scale factor of the smaller figure to the larger figure.

Smaller figure:
Length: 11
Width: 7
Height: 7
Larger figure:
Length: 33
Width: 28
Height: 14

yes; 1:2
yes; 1:7
yes; 1:3
no

I see a pattern among the two figures, but I don't know how to pick the answer.

the ratios are:

length: 11/33 = 1/3
width: 7/28 = 1/4
so, not similar

To determine whether two figures are similar, we need to compare their corresponding sides and see if they have the same ratios. In this case, we have the measurements of the smaller figure and the larger figure, so we can compare their lengths, widths, and heights.

To find the scale factor of the smaller figure to the larger figure, we divide the corresponding lengths, widths, and heights of the two figures. If all the ratios are the same, then the figures are similar, and the common ratio is the scale factor.

Let's calculate the ratios for the lengths, widths, and heights:

- Length ratio: smaller figure length / larger figure length
= 11 / 33 = 1/3

- Width ratio: smaller figure width / larger figure width
= 7 / 28 = 1/4

- Height ratio: smaller figure height / larger figure height
= 7 / 14 = 1/2

Now, we compare these ratios to see if they are all the same.

The ratios we calculated are: 1/3, 1/4, and 1/2. As you can see, these ratios are not equal to each other. Therefore, the figures are not similar.

So, the correct answer is "no".
