To determine whether two figures are similar, we can use two key criteria:
1. **Proportional Sides**: If the corresponding sides of the two figures are in proportion (i.e., the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal), then the figures are similar.
2. **Equal Angles**: If the corresponding angles of the two figures are equal, then the figures are also similar.
Based on the provided responses:
1. If one of the responses indicates "Yes, the sides are proportional," and another states "Yes, they have equal angles," this would imply that the figures are similar, as they meet at least one of the criteria for similarity.
2. Conversely, if there are responses indicating "No, the sides are not proportional" or "No, they do not have equal angles," then the figures would not be similar.
Ultimately, without seeing the figures or having additional context, we cannot definitively determine similarity. However, you should analyze the ratios of the sides and the measures of the angles to conclude similarity. If either criterion is satisfied, you can confidently say the figures are similar.
