To find: Whether each pair of figures is similar. If so, write the similarity statement and scale factor. If not, explain your reasoning.

Answer to Problem 3CYU
The figures are not similar by Theorem of Similar
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given figure is as follows.
Calculation:
Two polygons are similar if and only if their corresponding
Step 1: Compare corresponding angles.
Notice that both figures are rectangles.
Since all angles of a rectangle are right angles and right angles are congruent, corresponding angles are congruent.
Step 2: Compare corresponding sides:
And,
Since,
Therefore, the figures are not similar by Theorem of Similar Polygon.

- Can someone help me with this please?arrow_forwardMariela is in her classroom and looking out of a window at a tree, which is 20 feet away. Mariela’s line of sight to the top of the tree creates a 42° angle of elevation, and her line of sight to the base of the tree creates a 31° angle of depression. What is the height of the tree, rounded to the nearest foot? Be sure to show your work to explain how you got your answer.arrow_forward1arrow_forward
