Quadrilateral A has side lengths of 2, 3, 5, and 6. Quadrilateral B has side lengths 4, 5, 8, and 10. Could one of those quadrilaterals be a scaled copy of the other?

Answer:

no

Explanation:

The ratios of the two shortest sides are different:

3/2 ≠ 5/4

so the quadrilaterals cannot be similar.
