Question

Are the following figures similar?

A. Yes; the corresponding sides are proportional.

B. No; the corresponding sides are not proportional.

C. Yes; the corresponding angles are congruent.

D. No; the corresponding angles are not congruent.

Answer 1

C Yes; the corresponding angles are congruent

Answer 2

Answer:

B. No; the corresponding sides are not proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar figures, by definition do have all congruent corresponding angles and their legs are dilated at the same ratio. This dilation may be inversely or directly proportional. In this case we have the first condition but not the second, for we have four right angles each rectangle and its corresponding angles, but not proportional sides.
