In \(\triangle QRS\), \(QR = 4\), \(RS = 15\).

In \(\triangle VTU\), \(VT = 8\), \(TU = 32\).

Are the triangles similar? If they are, write a similarity statement and give the similarity ratio.

No because the scale factors are different. You can see that QR compared to VT the scale factor is 2, but in RS and TU it's different, so they are not similar.

Both **Polygons **are not Similar .
What are Polygon?
A **polygon **is a two- dimensional , closed form that is **flat **or **planar **and is limited by straight sides . Its sides are not curved . A polygon's **edges **are another name for its sides . The vertices (or corners) of a **polygon **are the places where two sides converge .
Given:
QR = 4, RS = 15, and VT = 8, TU = 32.
There must be some matching **sides **or **angles **for the **polygons **to be similar .
There are **neither comparable sides **nor **angles **for the example mentioned above.
For these reasons, DQRS and DUVT are not Similar .
Hence, Both Polygons are not similar .

The triangles △ QRS and △ V T U are not similar because the ratios of their corresponding sides are not equal. Therefore, they do not have the same shape. No similarity statement can be made.
