How to show your work on the homework: EXPLAIN WHY FIGURES ARE SIMILAR USING WORDS OR PROPORTIONS

In general, you want to look at the angle measures first. If the corresponding angle measures are equivalent, then you need to compare the corresponding sides. If the corresponding sides are proportional, then the figures are similar.

If you see that the angle measures are not equivalent, then you don't need to even look at the sides because the figures are automatically NOT SIMILAR.
