Question

are these shapes similar?
options: yes, no

Explanation:

Step1: Recall similarity of rectangles

For rectangles to be similar, the ratios of corresponding sides must be equal. Let's denote the first rectangle (GFHI) with length \( l_1 = 39 \) ft and width \( w_1 = 25 \) ft, and the second rectangle (TSRU) with length \( l_2 = 29 \) ft and width \( w_2 = 25 \) ft.

Step2: Calculate the ratios of length to width

For the first rectangle, the ratio of length to width is \( \frac{l_1}{w_1}=\frac{39}{25} = 1.56 \). For the second rectangle, the ratio of length to width is \( \frac{l_2}{w_2}=\frac{29}{25}=1.16 \). Since \( \frac{39}{25}
eq\frac{29}{25} \), the corresponding side ratios are not equal.

Answer:

no
