Given: the figures LMNO and EFGH

WE will find the length of each side of the figure LMNO

AS shown:


\begin{gathered} LM=3 \\ MN=\sqrt[]{2^2+4^2}=\sqrt[]{20}=2\sqrt[]{5} \\ NO=\sqrt[]{6^2+2^2}=\sqrt[]{40}=2\sqrt[]{10} \\ OL=\sqrt[]{1^2+2^2}=\sqrt[]{5} \end{gathered}

Now, we will find the length of each side of the figure EFGH:


\begin{gathered} FG=4 \\ GH=\sqrt[]{3^2+3^2}=\sqrt[]{18}=3\sqrt[]{2} \\ HE=\sqrt[]{1^2+3^2}=\sqrt[]{10} \\ EF=\sqrt[]{2^2+4^2}=\sqrt[]{20}=2\sqrt[]{5} \end{gathered}

By comparing the lengths of the corresponding sides

The figures are not congruent and not similar

So, the answer will be neither congruent nor similar
