Question

Given rectangles LMNO and PQRS, which statement explains a way to determine if the two figures are similar?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Verify corresponding pairs of sides are proportional by dilation.

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition: Two rectangles are similar when they have corresponding sides proportional are proportional by dilation.

For example, rectangles with sides 3 cm, 4cm and 6 cm, 8 cm are similar, but rectangles with sides 3 cm, 4 cm and 6 cm, 10 cm are nor similar.

Since all angles in rectangle are always right angles, then options A and C are false (in terms of your question).

Option D is false too, because translation doesn't change the length, and in this case two rectangles are congruent.

Option B is true according to definition.
