Question
- which of the following statements shows that these two polygons are not similar? corresponding angles are not proportional corresponding angles are not congruent corresponding sides are not proportional corresponding sides are not congruent
Step1: Recall similarity criteria
For two polygons to be similar, corresponding angles must be congruent and corresponding sides must be proportional.
Step2: Analyze angle - side conditions
Looking at the given polygons, we check the angles and sides. The key factor for non - similarity among the options is related to angles or sides. Since congruent corresponding angles are a must - have for similarity, if corresponding angles are not congruent, the polygons are not similar. Angles don't have a "proportional" concept in the context of similarity (angles are either congruent or not). Sides can be proportional for similar polygons, but non - congruent sides don't necessarily mean non - similarity as long as they are proportional.
