Answer:

D) The quadrilaterals are not similar

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

In quadrilateral EFGH, the sides are;

[tex]\overline {EF}[/tex] = [tex]\overline {HG}[/tex]  = 8, [tex]\overline {EH}[/tex]  = [tex]\overline {FG}[/tex] = 7

In quadrilateral QRST, the sides are;

[tex]\overline {QR}[/tex] = [tex]\overline {ST}[/tex]  = 32, [tex]\overline {QT}[/tex]  = [tex]\overline {RS}[/tex] = 36

The ratio of the lengths of the corresponding parallel sides on quadrilaterals EFGH and QRST are;

For the horizontal sides, we have;

[tex]\overline {EF}[/tex]/[tex]\overline {QR}[/tex] = 8/32 = 1/4 = 0.25

For the inclined parallel sides, we have;

[tex]\overline {EH}[/tex]/[tex]\overline {QT}[/tex] = 7/36 = 0.19[tex]\overline 4[/tex]

Therefore, given that the ratio of the corresponding sides on quadrilaterals EFGH and QRST are not equal, we have;

The quadrilaterals (EFGH and QRST) are not similar.
