Question

1) For question 1, use the figure below. a) Are the following polygons similar? Explain. (2 pts) Yes or No b) Assume the polygons are similar. Write a similarity statement for the polygons. (1 pt) c) A new figure is created, Polygon JKLM, such that Polygon ABCD is similar to Polygon JKLM, and side JM is 36. Given this information, what is the scale factor between Polygon JKLM and Polygon ABCD. Show the calculations that lead to your results. (2 pts)

Answer 1

Answer: a) Yes b) Polygon ABCD ~ Polygon EFGH c) JKLM is 3x bigger than polygon ABCD

Explanation:

(for part c)

JM= 36

AD= 12

36/12= 3

JKLM is 3x bigger than polygon ABCD
