Final answer:

Without the provided figure or specifics, it is impossible to determine the properties of the three quadrilaterals. Thus, the likely answer would be 'None of the above.' Visuals and measurements are essential for identifying similarity, congruency, and area comparisons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The provided information does not allow us to definitively answer the question about the three quadrilaterals on the coordinate grid because key details about the figure in question are missing. For a proper assessment of similarity, congruency, or comparison in terms of size (areas A₁, A₂, A₃), voltage potential, and congruency of triangles, specific measurements, and the actual figure are necessary. Therefore, the correct answer might be E) None of the above, assuming the student was meant to analyze a figure that was not provided to us.

It's important to visualize shapes to identify similar or congruent figures. Similar figures have the same shape but can differ in size, whereas congruent figures are identical in both shape and size. Without the coordinates of the quadrilaterals or a visual representation, we cannot determine the properties of E, F, and G directly.

The comparison of areas (A₁, A₂, A₃) would require knowledge of the shapes' dimensions, which are also not provided. As for the voltage potential, it is a physics-related concept indicating that if there is no change in potential energy along paths between two points, voltage measurement will be the same across those points. Lastly, if triangles are congruent, they are identical in shape and size, and this can be proven by geometrical theorems given their sides and angles.
