Answer :

Purple color figure is similar to the original figure.

Solution:

Property of similar polygon:

Similar polygons have same shape, corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

(1) Compare original figure with green color figure:

Angles of the original figure:

37°, 53° and 90°.

Angles of the green color figure:

67°, 23° and 90°

These two angles of the triangles not congruent angles.

Hence these shapes are not similar.

(2) Compare original figure with yellow color figure:

Angles of the original figure:

37°, 53° and 90°.

Angles of the yellow color figure:

67°, 23° and 90°

These two angles of the triangles are not congruent angles.

Hence these shapes are not similar.

(3) Compare original figure with purple color figure:

Angles of the original figure:

37°, 53° and 90°

Angles of the purple color figure:

37°, 53° and 90°

These two triangles have same shape and congruent angles.

Ratio of the sides:

[tex]$\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2} , \ \frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2} , \ \frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

These two triangles have same ratio.

Hence these shapes are similar.

Hence purple color figure is similar to the original figure.
