Answer:

If I am correct both figures are similar because of AA (angle reasoning). They have the same angles meaning they are similar triangles even if they don't fit the SSS, SAS, etc. reasoning

Explanation:

You could also do the cross multiply divide method to determine if they equal the corresponding length (which they do!) hope this helps! :)

edit: Question 4) is similar following the AA statement for triangles

Question 5 is not similar because it doesn;t match doing the cross multiply divide and has two right angles because they are

rectangles!

Question 1) Corresponding angles are related in two similar figures because they are the same. In triangles two figures similarity can be determined by identifying if they share two angles.

Question 2) Corresponding side lengths can determine the similarity by proving that the shape was only transformed by a scale factor and did not alter shape.

Question 3) No, not neccesarily. If they are the same size, length, and shape they are congruent. Similar figures are altered and different based on a scale factor
