Question

use the drop - down menus to explain if the two figures below are congruent or similar or neither. if the figures are similar, state the scale factor.

Explanation:

Step1: Check for congruence

Congruent figures have same shape and size. By observing the two - given figures, their side - lengths are not equal. So, they are not congruent.

Step2: Check for similarity

Similar figures have same shape. Calculate the ratios of corresponding side - lengths. Let's assume we find the lengths of corresponding sides. If we consider two corresponding sides of the two figures, say side lengths \(a\) and \(b\) of one figure and \(c\) and \(d\) of the other figure. The ratio of side - lengths of the two figures is not the same for all corresponding sides. So, they are not similar.

Answer:

The two figures are neither congruent nor similar.
