Question

determine if these shapes are similar, congruent, or neither. congruent similar neither

Explanation:

Step1: Check for congruence

Congruent shapes have equal corresponding sides. The trapezoids have different side lengths (e.g., \(1
eq9\), \(4
eq9\), \(3
eq12\)), so they are not congruent.

Step2: Check for similarity

Similar shapes have proportional corresponding sides.
For the sides:

• \(\frac{1}{9}\), \(\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}\), \(\frac{3}{3} = 1\), \(\frac{4}{9}\)

Since \(\frac{1}{9}
eq\frac{1}{4}
eq1
eq\frac{4}{9}\), the sides are not proportional.

Answer:

neither
