Question

are these shapes similar? yes no

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of similar shapes

Similar shapes have corresponding angles equal and corresponding sides in proportion.

Step2: Check the ratio of corresponding sides

For the first shape (a rhombus with side length \(26\) cm) and the second shape (a rhombus with side length \(21\) cm), the ratio of side lengths is \(\frac{26}{21}\). Since all sides of a rhombus are equal, this ratio is consistent for all corresponding sides.

Step3: Check the angles

Since both are rhombuses, opposite angles are equal and adjacent angles are supplementary. And from the markings, the corresponding angles are equal.

Answer:

yes
