Answer:

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.

The coordinates of Trapezoid EFGH are E(8, 8), F(8,10), G(1, 6), and H(4, 1). The image of EFGH under dilation is E’F’G’H’.

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

Below are the choices:

A) (2, 6)
B) (4, 6) 
C) (2, 5) 
D) (4, 5)

The answer should be: (4, 5)
E = (8, 8) -----> E' = (4, 4) = (8/2, 8/2)
F = (8, 10) -----> F' = (8/2, 10/2) = (4, 5)
