Answer:

The polygons are NOT similar. The ratio of 12 to 18 equals 2 to 3, and the ratio of 26 to 32 equals 13 to 16. They're not the same, thus not similar.

Answer:

They are not similar, and the instructions says to put "None" otherwise, so...

Explanation:

You can find this by dividing 32 by 16 to get something like 1.7777....

and dividing 26 by 12 should give the same ratio if they are similar, but it gives something like 2.1666...

Therefore they are not similar.

Congruent means two or more shapes are the same size and are similar, but for some things to be similar means that they have the same ratio, but not necessarily the same dimensions.
