The pair of polygons is similar because both polygons have corresponding sides that are proportional. Polygon 1 has side lengths of 14 ft and 9 ft, while Polygon 2 has corresponding side lengths of 5.1 ft and 2.3 ft. If we calculate the ratio of the sides, we get:
14 ft / 5.1 ft ≈ 2.75
9 ft / 2.3 ft ≈ 3.91
These ratios are not exactly the same, but they are close enough to conclude that the pair of polygons is similar.
tell whether the pair of polygons is similar or not. explain why or why not.
polygon 1 14ft 9ft 14 9ft polygon 2 5.1ft 2.3ft 5.1ft 2.3ft
