Question 1023067: http://prntscr.com/aaio56
So, I'm pretty sure they're congruent because the angles are congruent and corresponding sides are proportional. However, I can't find the scale factor. To find the scale factor, our teacher wants us to set up our problem as a ratio. For eg BC/YZ. I just can't figure that out.

They might be similar but absolutely NOT CONGRUENT.

JK corresponds to PO;
LJ corresponds to SP;

Look at the ratios.
8%2F4.8
and
2.5%2F1.5


Are these two equal ratios?
Actually, both are 1%262%2F3 so, yes. and the figures are similar.
