*Image Descriptions:*
1. A triangle (▲)
2. A rectangle (▭)
**Options:**
- O True
- O False
**Explanation:**
In this question, you are asked to determine whether the two given polygons—a triangle and a rectangle—are similar to each other.
**Graph/Diagram Details:**
- The first diagram is a simple line drawing of a triangle.
- The second diagram is a line drawing of a rectangle with dots at each corner, which might represent vertices.
**Additional Information:**
For two polygons to be similar, their corresponding angles must be equal, and the lengths of their corresponding sides must be proportional. A triangle and a rectangle generally do not meet these criteria.
### Answer:
If you believe that these polygons meet the criteria for similarity, select **True**. Otherwise, select **False**.
**Select Your Answer:**
- O True
- O False](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F9d0c88f8-9b0e-4a87-ae6c-39dd67e2599b%2F72d92c25-4dff-4162-a3e0-6f24151988a7%2Fuyl6dys_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
