1. Problem Description

The problem asks if two quadrilaterals, ABCDABCD and NKLMNKLM, are similar. If they are similar, we need to write a similarity statement and find the scale factor.

2. Solution Steps

To determine if the two quadrilaterals are similar, we need to check if their corresponding angles are congruent and if their corresponding sides are proportional.
The given angle at AA is 120120^\circ, and the given angle at MM is 120120^\circ. Assuming that these angles correspond, we have AM\angle A \cong \angle M.
Assuming that all the other corresponding angles are also congruent (although not explicitly given), we can move on to checking the proportionality of corresponding sides.
We have AB=10AB = 10, AD=5AD = 5, DC=10DC = 10, and BC=5BC = 5.
Also, we have NK=1.2NK = 1.2, NM=3.12NM = 3.12, ML=1.2ML = 1.2, and KL=3.12KL = 3.12.
Let's check the ratios of the sides:
ABML=101.2=10012=253\frac{AB}{ML} = \frac{10}{1.2} = \frac{100}{12} = \frac{25}{3}
ADNM=53.12=500312=12578\frac{AD}{NM} = \frac{5}{3.12} = \frac{500}{312} = \frac{125}{78}
BCNK=51.2=5012=256\frac{BC}{NK} = \frac{5}{1.2} = \frac{50}{12} = \frac{25}{6}
DCKL=103.12=1000312=12539\frac{DC}{KL} = \frac{10}{3.12} = \frac{1000}{312} = \frac{125}{39}
Since the ratios of corresponding sides are not equal, the quadrilaterals are not similar. For instance ABML=253\frac{AB}{ML} = \frac{25}{3} and ADNM=12578\frac{AD}{NM} = \frac{125}{78}. Also ADNM\frac{AD}{NM} is not equal to BCNK\frac{BC}{NK}. Therefore, the polygons are not similar.
If instead, we assume that ABAB corresponds to NKNK, and ADAD corresponds to NMNM, then
ABNK=101.2=10012=253\frac{AB}{NK} = \frac{10}{1.2} = \frac{100}{12} = \frac{25}{3}.
ADNM=53.12=500312=12578=253×526\frac{AD}{NM} = \frac{5}{3.12} = \frac{500}{312} = \frac{125}{78} = \frac{25}{3} \times \frac{5}{26}
Therefore, the ratio between ADAD and NMNM is 526\frac{5}{26} of the ratio of ABAB to NKNK. Thus, they are not similar.

3. Final Answer

The polygons are not similar.
