Exercise 41 Page 874

Similar solids have the same shape and all of their corresponding dimensions are proportional. The ratio of corresponding linear dimensions of two similar solids is the scale factor. If the scale factor is 1:1 they are also congruent.

Neither

Practice makes perfect

Let's see whether the corresponding linear dimensions are proportional.

7/7 ? =7/10

QuotOne

a/a=1

1 ≠ 7/10 *

Since the ratios of corresponding measures are not equal, the rectangular prisms are neither congruent nor similar.
