Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

starting with the polygon on the left at vertex Z ( marked with x ) and going clockwise.

Similarly polygon on right starting with vertex D ( marked with x ) and going clockwise.

ZLXY ≅ DABC

the scale factor of ZLXY → DABC

is the ratio of corresponding sides

scale factor =
(DA)/(ZL) =
(9)/(7.2) =
(5)/(4)
