Question 256529: Polygon A has five sides. Polygon B is created by tripling the length of each side of Polygon A. Polygons A and B are?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The ratio of sides polygon A to polygon B are 1:3
The number of sides are different and this changes each interior angle.
To be similar: sides are proportional and angles are equal. These polygons are NOT similar.
"Polygons A and B are?"
ANS: NOT similar
