Question
are these shapes similar?
Step1: Recall similarity condition
Two polygons are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and corresponding - side lengths are in proportion.
Step2: Check angle - equality
Both shapes are squares, so all angles in both squares are right - angles (90°), and corresponding angles are equal.
Step3: Check side - length proportion
For the first square with side length \(a = 41\) mi and the second square with side length \(b = 31\) mi. The ratio of the side lengths of the two squares is \(\frac{41}{31}
eq1\). Since the ratio of corresponding side lengths is not a constant value of 1 (and they are not the same shape in terms of size), the side lengths are not in proportion.
