1. Are the polygons similar? A. Similar
B. Not similar

2. Because...

A. The corresponding sides are congruent, and corresponding pairs of angles all have the same ratio
B. The sides are not the same length as their corresponding sides
C. The corresponding pairs of sides do NOT have the same ratio

The polygons are similar.

This is because dividing the corresponding sides forms the same ratio, as shown by the three equations below

35/28 = 1.25

25/20 = 1.25

(15.5)/(12.4) = 1.25

So the larger figure on the right has side lengths that are 1.25 times larger compared to the corresponding sides of the figure on the left.

You'll need to flip the figure on the left so that the side labeled "20" is along the top, and the "28" is along the bottom.

After this flip happens, also note that the angle arc markings match up. The bottom pairs of angles of each figure are shown with a single arc, while the top angles are shown as double arcs. This helps visually show which angles pair up and are congruent to one another.

Because we have similar proportions as discussed earlier, and congruent pairs of angles like this, this shows the two figures are similar quadrilaterals. The one on the right is simply an enlarged scaled up copy of the figure on the left.

m∠a is 90°

m∠b is 40°
