Question

Determine whether the polygons are similar. If so, write a similarity Statement and give the scale factor. If not, explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

The polygons are not similar

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

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

In this problem

The corresponding angles are congruent

Verify the proportionality of its corresponding sides

$\frac{40}{24}=\frac{29}{18}=\frac{17.3}{9.4}$

$1.67=1.61=1.84$ ----> is not true

so

The corresponding sides are not proportional

therefore

The polygons are not similar
