No. The numbers do not share common factors.

Side length of Quadrilateral, a=2,3,5, and 6.

Side length of Quadrilateral, b=4,5,8 and 10

⇒Comparing the Ratio of the Corresponding Sides of two Quadrilateral a and b


\rightarrow (2)/(4)\\eq(5)/(8)\\\\\rightarrow(3)/(5)=(6)/(10)

As,the ratio of corresponding opposite sides are not equal.That is these two Quadrilateral are Not Similar.

So, We can say that , Quadrilateral b, is not scaled copy of Quadrilateral a.
