1 answer:
Similar polygons only differ by a scaling factor. In other words, two polygons are similar if one is the scaled version of the other.
In particular, this implies that the angles are preserved, and the correspondent sides are in proportion.
These two polygons are both rectangles, so the angles are preserved. We must check the sides, and we have to check if the smaller sides are in the same proportion as the bigger sides.
So, the two rectangles are similar if the following is true.
In any proportion, the product of the inner terms must be the same as the product of the outer terms:
This is clearly false, and thus the two rectangles are not similar.

<u></u> corresponds to TR. correct option b.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
In the given parallelogram or rectangle , we have a diagonal RT . We need to find which side is in correspondence with side/Diagonal RT of parallelogram URST .
<u>Side TU:</u>
In triangle UTR , we see that TR is hypotenuse and is the longest side among UR & TU . So , TR can never be equal in length to UR & TU . So there's no correspondence of Side TU with RT.
<u>Side TR:</u>
Since, direction of sides are not mentioned here , we can say that TR & RT is parallel & equal to each other . So , TR is in correspondence with side/Diagonal RT of parallelogram URST .
<u>Side UR:</u>
In triangle UTR , we see that TR is hypotenuse and is the longest side among UR & TU . So , TR can never be equal in length to UR & TU . So there's no correspondence of Side UR with RT.
