Answer:

not similar

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar polygons have all corresponding angles congruent, and corresponding sides proportional.

The sides lengths guarantee the polygons are parallelograms, so one pair of angles being congruent is sufficient to ensure that all corresponding angles are congruent.

The ratio of side lengths in the left polygon is 13/8, and the ratio of side lengths in the right polygon is 5.2/2.4 = 13/6. These are different ratios, so the corresponding sides are NOT proportional.

The figures are NOT SIMILAR.

AD = 42-x

The bisector of an angle of a triangle divides the opposite side into segments that are proportional to the adjacent sides ⇒
AB/BC = AD/DC
36/27 = (42-x)/x
36x = 27(42-x)
36x = 1134 - 27x
36x + 27x = 1134
63x = 1134
x = 1134/63
x = 18
