Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3; all figures are rectangles.
Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3; all figures are rectangles.

Figure 2 and Figure 3; the figures are both vertical.
Figure 2 and Figure 3; the figures are both vertical.

Figure 1 and Figure 2; the side lengths are proportional and corresponding angles are equal.
Figure 1 and Figure 2; the side lengths are proportional and corresponding angles are equal.

Figure 1 and Figure 3; one figure is larger than the other.
Figure 1 and Figure 3; one figure is larger than the other.

The correct combination of figures that are similar and why is: Figure 1 and Figure 2; the side lengths are proportional and corresponding angles are equal.

how

Figures are considered similar when they have the same shape, but possibly different sizes. In the case of Figure 1 and Figure 2, they are both rectangles and their side lengths are proportional. This means that if we were to compare the lengths of corresponding sides (e.g., the length of the shorter side of Figure 1 compared to the length of the corresponding shorter side of Figure 2), we would find that they form a constant ratio. Additionally, the corresponding angles in Figure 1 and Figure 2 are equal. This combination of proportional side lengths and equal corresponding angles indicates that Figure 1 and Figure 2 are similar.
