Left: 1-2 and the right: 34-68
The first one is the correct answer
Answer: b) the tiles are not similar because both SP:SR is 5:4 and MJ:ML is 5:2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given that the tiles are rectangular which implies that they both have a 90° angle.
In order to prove similarity, We need to show that the lengths and widths are proportional.

a) PQ : QR JK : LM
w=4 L=5 w=2 w=2
↓
We need Length (not width)
b) SP : SR MJ : ML
L=5 w=4 L=5 w=2
5 : 4 5 : 2
When comparing length to width they do not have the same ratio so the rectangles are not similar.
c) PQ : QR JK : KL
w=4 L=5 w=2 L=5
4 : 5 2 : 5
When comparing width to length they do not have the same ratio so the rectangles are not similar.
d) SR : ML PQ : JK
w=4 w=2 w=4 w=2
↓ ↓
We need Length (not width)
