Given:
The figures of two polygons.
To find:
Whether the polygons are similar and then find the scale factor (if similar).
Solution:
From the given figures it is clear that both polygons are rectangles and their all interior angles are right angles.
The ratio of their longer sides:
[tex]\dfrac{32}{26}=\dfrac{16}{13}[/tex]
The ratio of their shorter sides:
[tex]\dfrac{18}{12}=\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex]
Since the ratio of their corresponding sides are not equal, therefore the two polygons are not similar.
Therefore the required solutions are:
Similar : No
Similarity statement : None
Scale factor : None
