Answer:

They are similar by the definition of similarity in terms of a dilation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is finding the sides of each triangle.

In triangle GHI, we have that:

GH = sqrt((4-2)^2 + (8-4)^2) = 4.4721

HI = sqrt((8-4)^2 + (4-8)^2) = 5.6569

IG = sqrt((2-8)^2 + (4-4)^2) = 6

Now, for the triangle JKL, we have:

JK = sqrt((2-1)^2 + (3-1)^2) = 2.2361

KL = sqrt((4-2)^2 + (1-3)^2) = 2.8284

LJ = sqrt((1-4)^2 + (1-1)^2) = 3

The triangles are not congruent, because the sides are different

They are similar, because their sides have a proportion (sides of GHI are 2 times the sides of JKL). If they are similar, they have the same angles.

The ratio of their corresponding sides is 1:2, not 1:3

The ratio of their corresponding angles is 1:1, not 1:3
