1. The problem asks us to identify which two shapes are similar. 2. Similar shapes have the same shape but may differ in size. This means their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are proportional. 3. From the description, shape A and shape E are both trapezoids with the longer base on top and similar orientation. 4. To confirm similarity, we check if the angles match and the ratio of corresponding sides is constant. 5. Since shape E is described as a smaller trapezoid similar in orientation to shape A, they are likely similar by definition. 6. Therefore, the two similar shapes are shape A and shape E. Final answer: Shapes A and E are similar.
