Which best explains why these two figures are similar or not similar?

Answer 1

These two figures are similar because 5/3 equals 15/9.

Explanation:

If two figures are similar, their corresponding sides are proportional.

This means comparing the sides, we get equivalent ratios.

The ratio of the sides of the smaller rectangle is 5/3. The ratio of the sides of the larger rectangle is 15/9.

5/3(3/3) = 15/9; this means these are equivalent ratios, which means the corresponding sides are proportional and the figures are similar.

Answer 2

The answer is the bottom right answer.

Explanation:

The figures are similar because the lengths of corresponding pairs of sides are in the same ratio.
