Find the missing perimeter.

• 15

• 20

• 25

• 30

Tell whether the two figures are similar. Explain your reasoning. (Hint: are they proportional?)

• Yes, similar because they are the same shape and side lengths are proportional.

• No, not similar because they are the same shape, but side lengths are not proportional.

• Yes, same shape

• No, different sizes
