Question

Polygons BCDE & FGHI are similar
please help

Answer 1

Answer:
`\bold{a)\quad (BC)/(FG)=(BE)/(FI)}`

b) ∠H

c) ∠E

Explanation:

I find it easiest to do these problems if I write one polygon on top of the other. That way I can easily see the angles and sides that match.

B C D E

F G H I

a) BC matches to FG and FI matches to BE

The proportion is:
`(BC)/(FG)=(BE)/(FI)}`
