Similar polygons only differ by a scaling factor. In other words, two polygons are similar if one is the scaled version of the other.
In particular, this implies that the angles are preserved, and the correspondent sides are in proportion.
These two polygons are both rectangles, so the angles are preserved. We must check the sides, and we have to check if the smaller sides are in the same proportion as the bigger sides.
So, the two rectangles are similar if the following is true.

In any proportion, the product of the inner terms must be the same as the product of the outer terms:

This is clearly false, and thus the two rectangles are not similar.
Answer:
On a coordinate plane, triangle A B C has points (4, 4), (7, 8), (10, 4). ... Hence, the scale factor is 2 and one-half( ).
Step-by-step explanation:
The center of dilation is a fixed point in the plane. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the image is an enlargement (a stretch). If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image is a reduction (a shrink). If the scale factor is 1, the figure and the image are congruent.
Let's do 51 and 52.
51. The contrapositive has the same truth value as the original statement. That's opposed to the converse, which may or may not be true independent of the original statement.
The contrapositive of IF P THEN Q is IF not Q THEN not P. They're equivalent. Here that's If the cat is not female then it is not tricolor.
Answer: C
52.


For the statement to be true, the exponent must be zero:



Both positive 2 and negative 2 have a square of 4.
Answer: K
By the way, usually we assume
so the restriction that

For these common equalities to work when
we need to define
