Question

The question is " Are these forms alike, Explain why or why not " I've got my awnser just looking to see if it's correct, I'm saying they're not similar.. 8/13 * 3/3 = 24/39 I'm using this as proof that they are incorrect.

Answer 1

Answer:

The parallelograms PQRS and TUVW are not alike.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, if one angle is known, then all the other angles can also be determined.  

Now, parallelograms PQRS and TUVW have one angle of 120° equal.  

So, the other three angles will be the same for them.

The adjacent sides of the parallelogram PQRS are 8 ft and  12 ft. and the adjacent sides of the parallelogram TUVW are 2.4 ft and 5.2 ft.

So the ratios of sides of the two parallelograms are $\frac{8}{2.4} = 3.33$ and $\frac{12}{5.2} = 2.3$ which are not equal.

So, the parallelograms PQRS and TUVW are not alike. (Answer)
