Exercise 1 Page 548

If two polygons are similar, then their corresponding angles are congruent and the lengths of their corresponding sides are proportional.

No, see solution.

Practice makes perfect

Polygons that have the same shape are called similar polygons. If two polygons are similar, then their corresponding angles are congruent and the lengths of their corresponding sides are proportional. With this information in mind, let's examine the given figures.

given figures

We can see that the opposite angles in both figures do not have a matching number of arcs. Therefore, all of the corresponding angles are not congruent.
