Step 1: To Find
We have to find whether the given circles are similar or not.
Step 2: Explanation
The similarity is the quality of the scaling. Two shapes are similar if you can scale one to be like the other.
Since all circles are of the same shape (they only vary by size), any circle can be scaled to form any other circle. Thus, all circles are similar.
Hence the given circles are similar.
