Recall the definition of similar polygons.

Never

Practice makes perfect

Let's recall the definition of similar polygons. Two polygons are similar if and only if their corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding side lengths are proportional. Notice that a scalene triangle has three different side lengths and an equilateral triangle has all three congruent sides. This means that the ratio between the corresponding sides cannot be constant. Therefore, a scalene triangle and an equilateral triangle are never similar polygons.
