Question

are these shapes similar? work it out not feeling ready yet? these can help:

Explanation:

Step1: Recall similarity criteria

Two polygons are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the ratios of their corresponding side - lengths are equal.

Step2: Check angle congruence

No information about angles is given, but we can assume that if the shapes are regular (squares in this case as all side - lengths are equal in each shape), all angles are right angles. So, corresponding angles are congruent.

Step3: Check side - length ratios

For the first shape with side - length \(a = 20\) in and the second shape with side - length \(b=23\) in. The ratio of the side - lengths of the first shape to the second shape is \(\frac{20}{23}
eq1\). Since the ratios of corresponding side - lengths are not equal, the shapes are not similar.

Answer:

no
