On a coordinate plane, Rectangles A B C D and E F G H are shown. The length of side A B is 6 units and the length of side B C is 3 units. The length of side E F is 8 units and the length of side F G is 4 units.

Question illustration
A
Yes, because corresponding sides are parallel and have lengths in the ratio
Option A
B
Yes, because both figures are rectangles and all rectangles are similar.
C
No, because the center of dilation is not at (0, 0).
D
No, because corresponding sides have different slopes.
