Question

Do the two parallelograms in the figure appear to be similar? Why or why not?

A. The parallelograms are not similar because although corresponding angles have the same measures, corresponding sides aren't proportional.
B. The parallelograms are not similar because corresponding angles don't have the same measures, but corresponding sides are proportional.
C. The parallelograms are similar because corresponding angles have the same measures and corresponding sides are proportional.
D. The parallelograms are similar because corresponding angles have the same measures and corresponding sides aren't proportional.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding sides are congruent

In this problem

The ratio of its corresponding sides are not proportional

because

$\frac{6}{16}\neq \frac{6}{10}$

therefore

The parallelograms are not similar because although corresponding angles have the same measures, corresponding sides aren't proportional

Answer 2

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallelograms are not similar because although corresponding angles have the same measures, corresponding sides aren't proportional.
