Question

the two polygons below are similar.
complete the similarity statement.
vwxy ~ \boxed{
submit
work it out

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides

In similar polygons, corresponding sides are in proportion. For polygon \(VWXY\) and the other polygon, the sides of \(VWXY\) are \(VX = 2\), \(XY = 3\), \(YW = 2\), \(WV=1\). For the other polygon, the sides are \(CD = 15\), \(DA = 10\), \(AB = 5\), \(BC = 10\). The ratio of \(WV = 1\) to \(BC=10\) is \(\frac{1}{10}\), \(VX = 2\) to \(CD = 15\) is incorrect. But if we match the angles (since similar polygons have equal - corresponding angles). The angle at \(V\) corresponds to the angle at \(B\), the angle at \(W\) corresponds to the angle at \(C\), the angle at \(X\) corresponds to the angle at \(D\), the angle at \(Y\) corresponds to the angle at \(A\).

Step2: Write the similarity statement

When writing a similarity statement, the order of the vertices must correspond. So \(VWXY\sim BCDA\)

Answer:

\(VWXY\sim BCDA\)
