Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
All statements of congruent angles and congruent segments are correct.
A similarity statement can be written ...
Write a similarity statement ...
ABCD ~ HJKL
The reason written in the problem is incorrect. The polygons are similar, not congruent, so you cannot state that they are congruent as a reason for them to be similar.
This is the correct reason:
"The reason as why the two shapes are similar is that each angle A, B, C, D is congruent to each corresponding angle H, J, K, L, respectively, and the lengths of corresponding sides are proportional."
"A similarity ratio is a ratio that compares the <u>lengths</u> of the corresponding sides of two similar polygons. The ratio is written in the same order as the <u>two</u>
<u>polygons.</u>"
For the similarity ratio, we use two corresponding sides.
AB = 8; HJ = 12
AB/HJ = 8/12 = 2/3
The similarity ratio of ABCD to HJKL is 2/3.
