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
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.
