Are the polygons similar? If they are, write a similarity statement and give the scale factor. The figures are not drawn to scale.
Polygon 1: All sides are 3
Polygon 2: All sides are 4.5
Each polygon is the same shape.

Yes, the polygons are similar because they are the same shape.
To write the similarity statement, we can compare the corresponding sides of the polygons.
Polygon 1: All sides are 3
Polygon 2: All sides are 4.5
The scale factor can be found by dividing the length of corresponding sides:
Scale factor = 4.5/3 = 1.5
Therefore, the similarity statement is:
Polygon 1 is similar to Polygon 2 with a scale factor of 1.5.
