Bradley and Kelly are out flying kites at a park one afternoon. A model of Bradley and Kelly's kites are shown below on the coordinate plane as kites BRAD and KELY, respectively: Kites ADBR and KELY are shown on a coordinate plane. The vertices of ADBR are A is at 9, 1; D is at 1, 5; B is at 9, 9; and R is at 11, 5. The vertices of KELY are K at 13, 9; E at 14, 10; L at 15, 9; and Y at 14, 2. Which statement is correct about the two kites? They are similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:2 and Segment KE to segment YK 1:2. They are not similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:5 and Segment KE to segment YK is 1:2. They are not similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:2 and Segment KE to segment YK is 1:5. They are similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:5 and Segment KE to segment YK is 1:5.

Answer: They are not similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:2 and Segment KE to segment YK is 1:5.

They are not similar because BR-DB has a larger ratio then KE-YK.

Similar means the corresponding sides have the same ratios between 2 shapes.

The sides do not.

Answer: Option 3: They are not similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:2 and Segment KE to segment YK is 1:5.

Please, see the attached files.

Thanks.
