First we need to check the corresponding sides, they must have the same scale

$\begin{gathered} EW\cong SL \\ EM\cong SH \end{gathered}$

to find the ratio of scale we make a division

$\begin{gathered} (EW)/(SL)=(EM)/(SH) \\ \\ (3)/(5)=(6)/(9) \\ \\ (3)/(5)\\e(2)/(3) \end{gathered}$

the scale between corresponding sides is different, then the figures are not similar
