Question

two polygons are similar polygons if corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are dropdown options: similar, extended, scale factor, proportional, congruent

Explanation:

To determine the correct term for the corresponding sides of similar polygons, we recall the definition of similar polygons: Two polygons are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional (i.e., the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, forming a scale factor). The other options don't fit: "similar" is too vague, "extended" refers to length extension (not a property of similarity), "scale factor" is the ratio, not the relationship of the sides themselves, and "congruent" would mean the polygons are congruent (a special case of similarity where the scale factor is 1, but the general definition for similarity uses proportional sides).

Answer:

proportional
