The figure shows three quadrilaterals on a coordinate grid:
Which of the following statements is true about the three quadrilaterals? (4 points)

a
D and E are similar but not congruent.

b
E and F are similar and congruent.

c
D and E are similar and congruent.

d
F and D are similar but not congruent.

Answer 1

d and e are similar but not congruent

Answer 2

a. D and E are similar but not congruent.

Explanation:

Let's analyse each statement and determine which is true about the 3 given quadrilaterals:

a. "D and E are similar but not congruent." TRUE.

D is similar to E because, every segment of D is proportional to the corresponding segments of E. The ratio of their corresponding segments are equal.

D and E are not congruent because their segments are not of equal length. Thus, they have the same shape but different sizes.

b. "E and F are similar and congruent." NOT TRUE.

E and F has the same size, hence they are congruent. However, they are not similar, because they don't have the same shape. Their corresponding lengths are not proportional.

c. "D and E are similar and congruent." NOT TRUE.

Since statement (a) is TRUE, statement (c) cannot be true.

D and E are similar because they have the same shape and the ratio of their corresponding sides are the same. D and E are not congruent, because they are not of the same size.

d. "F and D are similar but not congruent." NOT TRUE.

F and D has the same size but the ratio of their corresponding sides are not the same.
