To state: whether polygons are similar if their corresponding sides are in proportion.
Answer to Problem 6CE

Explanation of Solution
Given information: corresponding sides of two polygons are in proportion.
A
Two polygons are similar if it satisfies both of the following conditions:
1. Corresponding sides of two polygons are in same proportion
2. Corresponding
Now if the corresponding sides of two polygons are in proportion, angles may not be equal.
So, it is not necessary that the polygons are similar if the corresponding sides of two polygons are in proportion.
