Question

Hi I need help with my ixl I don't know how to simplify it

Answer 1

The similarity ratio of the first polygon to the second polygon is 1 : 5.

The similarity can be written as a proper fraction as 1/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We're told from the question that the two polygons are similar.

Remember, two figures are said to be similar when their corresponding sides are in proportion.

If the two polygons are similar, it means that the ratio of corresponding sides are equal;

`\begin{gathered} (VW)/(FE)=(WX)/(ED)=(XY)/(DC)=(YV)/(CF) \\ (5)/(25)=(6)/(30)=(5)/(25)=(3)/(15) \\ \Rightarrow(1)/(5)=(1)/(5)=(1)/(5)=(1)/(5) \end{gathered}`

Therefore the similarity ratio of the first polygon to the second one is 1 : 5.

The similarity can be written as a proper fraction as 1/5.
