Tell whether the pair of polygons is similar or not. Explain why or why not.
First Polygon: 14ft on one side, 9ft on the other side, 9ft on another side, an 14 feet on another side.
Second Polygon: 2.3 ft on one side, 5.1ft on another side, 2.3 feet on another side, and 5.1 on the last side
The pair of polygons is similar because all corresponding sides are proportional. The ratio of corresponding sides is as follows:
14ft / 2.3ft ≈ 6.09
9ft / 5.1ft ≈ 1.76
9ft / 2.3ft ≈ 3.91
14ft / 5.1ft ≈ 2.75
Since the ratios are all equal or very close, the polygons are similar.
