  1. Identify Properties: Identify the properties of similar figures; they must have the same shape with corresponding angles equal and sides proportional.
  2. Check Angles and Sides: Check if quadrilaterals RSTURSTU and ABCDABCD have corresponding angles that are equal by measuring or calculating the angles.
  3. Compare Lengths: Compare the lengths of corresponding sides to see if they are proportional. If the sides of one quadrilateral are a constant multiple of the sides of the other, they are similar.
  4. Identify Congruent Figures: Identify the properties of congruent figures; they must have the same shape and size with all corresponding angles and sides equal.
  5. Check Corresponding Sides: Check if quadrilaterals RSTURSTU and ABCDABCD have corresponding sides that are equal by measuring or calculating the side lengths.
  6. Use Transformations: Use a sequence of transformations (translation, rotation, reflection, or dilation) to see if one quadrilateral can be mapped onto the other. If it can, they are congruent.
  7. Check Similarity vs Congruence: If a sequence of transformations shows that the quadrilaterals have the same shape but different sizes, they are similar but not congruent.
  8. Final Conclusion: If no sequence of transformations can map one quadrilateral onto the other, they are neither similar nor congruent.
  9. Final Conclusion: If no sequence of transformations can map one quadrilateral onto the other, they are neither similar nor congruent. Make a conclusion based on the above checks to determine if the student's claim is correct.
