Question

what is the first step in determining if two figures are similar? a. compare the ratios of corresponding sides b. reflect one of the figures c. rotate one of the figures d. compare the areas

Explanation:

To determine if two figures are similar, we first need to check if the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal. Reflecting or rotating figures are transformation - related actions and not the first step for similarity. Comparing areas is a later step after establishing side - length relationships.

Answer:

A. Compare the ratios of corresponding sides
