Similar polygons will have proportional side lengths. So, let's check each of these using proportions and cross-multiplying.

Proportion: left rectangle length / left rectangle width = right rectangle length / right rectangle width

Top Left Rectangles: Proportional

6.4 / 5.6 = 1.6 / 1.4

8.96 = 8.96

Top Right Rectangles: Not Proportional

10.2 / 6.2 = 5.2 / 1.2

32.24 does not equal 12.24

Bottom Left Rectangles: Proportional

39 / 27 = 13 / 9

351 = 351

Bottom Right Rectangles: Not Proportional

64 / 36 = 8 / 6

288 does not equal 384

Hope this helps!! :)
