SIMILAR FIGURES

HOW TO KNOW WHAT SIMILAR FIGURES ARE

• If there are two balls, and the first one is larger than the second
• One, but the exact same shape, they would be similar figures

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY SHAPES ARE SIMILAR?

• On the same two sides of different shapes,
• Divide them, ex. 2.4/1.2 and on the other
• Side of the same shapes, divide them ex
• 4.2/2.1 and see if the quotients are the
• Same

HOW ARE SHAPES SIMILAR?

• In order for 2 figures to
• Be similar, the corresponding
• Sides must be porportions
• And the corresponding angles
• Must be congruent.
