Two polygons are similar if corresponding side lengths have equal scale factor
The polygons are not similar
How to determine if the polygons are similar?
From the complete question, we have two polygons with the following corresponding side lengths:
- 5 and 8
- 12 and 15
- 13 and 17
Calculate the scale factor (k) using:
k = Polygon B/Polygon A
So, we have:
k = 8/5 = 15/12 = 17/13
Evaluate the quotients
k = 1.60 = 1.25 = 1.31
The factors are not equal i.e.
1.60 ≠ 1.25 ≠ 1.31
Hence, the polygons are not similar
