the answer is C, all sides must be proportional to a specific factor, or the dilation

Similar shapes may or may not be congruent.

The true statement is: (c) Verify corresponding pairs of sides are proportional by dilation.

From the question, we understand that:

QRST and WXYZ are similar

The possible scenarios are:

  • QRST ans WXYZ are congruent
  • QRST ans WXYZ are not congruent

The best way to determine their similarities is to assume that they are not congruent

This means that, the trapezoids are dilated, and they must have proportional corresponding sides.

The above highlight means that:

Option (c) is true
