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
