Question

which figure has the same shape as figure a? figure b figure c figure d figure e look at the relationship between the side lengths of figure a and the corresponding side lengths of the other figures.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze side - length ratios

For similar - shaped (same shape) figures, the ratios of corresponding side lengths are equal. Figure A has side - lengths 1 and 2.

Step2: Check each figure

• Figure B: Its side - lengths are not in the ratio 1:2 compared to figure A.
• Figure C: Its side - lengths are not in the ratio 1:2 compared to figure A.
• Figure D: Its side - lengths are not in the ratio 1:2 compared to figure A.
• Figure E: The side - lengths of figure E can be seen as being in the same ratio as figure A. If we consider the smaller side of figure E as 1 - unit and the longer side as 2 - units (in terms of grid squares), it has the same shape as figure A.

Answer:

figure E
