17. Step 1 Compare corresponding angles.
Identify Similar Polygons
Step 1 Compare corresponding angles.
Since all angles of a rectangle are right angles and right angles are congruent, corresponding angles are congruent.
Step 2 Compare corresponding sides.
Answer: Since corresponding sides are not proportional, ABCD is not similar to FGHK. So, the menus are not similar.
