Question

The figure shows five polygons: ABCDE, FGHIJ, KLMNO, PQRST, and UVWXY.

Polygon_____cannot be mapped onto the others by similarity transformations.

Answer 1

PQRST, as similarity refers to these polygons all having the same shape, just in different sizes and positions. Polygon PQRST, however, is a different shape than the other ones, as it is wider in comparison to the height.

Answer 2

Polygon PQRST cannot be mapped onto the others by similarity transformations.

Explanation:

A similarity transformation has many rigid transformations like- reflection, rotation, translation etc.

When any given figure is transformed by using any similarity transformation, the resulting image created is similar to the original image.

Here, the only image that cannot be mapped on others is PQRST.

Otherwise, ABCDE is similar to FGHIJ and KLMNO is similar to UVWXY.
