Question

The question is " Are these forms alike, Explain why or why not " I've got my awnser just looking to see if it's correct, I'm saying they're not similar.. 8/13 * 3/3 = 24/39 I'm using this as proof that they are incorrect.

Answer 1

The parallelograms PQRS and TUVW are not alike.

Explanation:

In a parallelogram, if one angle is known, then all the other angles can also be determined.

Now, parallelograms PQRS and TUVW have one angle of 120° equal.

So, the other three angles will be the same for them.

The adjacent sides of the parallelogram PQRS are 8 ft and 12 ft. and the adjacent sides of the parallelogram TUVW are 2.4 ft and 5.2 ft.

So the ratios of sides of the two parallelograms are
`(8)/(2.4) = 3.33` and
`(12)/(5.2) = 2.3` which are not equal.

So, the parallelograms PQRS and TUVW are not alike. (Answer)
