Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Recall similarity condition

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

Step2: Check angle - equality

Both shapes are rectangles. In rectangles, all angles are right - angles (90°). So, the corresponding angles of the two rectangles are equal.

Step3: Check side - length ratios

For the first rectangle with side - lengths 25 m and 40 m, and the second rectangle with side - lengths 25 m and 48 m.
The ratio of the shorter sides is $\frac{25}{25}=1$.
The ratio of the longer sides is $\frac{40}{48}=\frac{5}{6}$.
Since $\frac{5}{6}
eq1$, the ratios of the corresponding side - lengths are not equal.

Answer:

no
