Similar Polygons Section 7-2 Objective • Identify similar polygons. Key Vocabulary • Similar polygons • Similarity ratio • Scale factor Theorems • 7.1 Perimeters of Similar Polygons What is Similarity? Similar Triangles Not Similar Similar Similar Not Similar Similarity Figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size are similar figures. But what does “same shape mean”? Are the two heads similar? Similarity Similar shapes can be thought of as enlargements or reductions with no irregular distortions. – So two shapes are similar if one can be enlarged or reduced so that it is congruent to the original. Similar Polygons • When polygons have the same shape but may be different in size, they are called similar polygons. • We express similarity using the symbol, ~. (i.e. ΔABC ~ ΔPRS) Example - Similar Polygons Figures that are similar (~) have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. Similar Polygons • The order of the vertices in a similarity statement is very important. It identifies the corresponding angles and sides of the polygons. ΔABC ~ ΔPRS A P, B R, C S AB = BC = CA PR RS SP Similar Polygons Two polygons are similar polygons iff the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are proportional.

Similarity and Congruence • If two polygons are congruent, they are also similar. • All of the corresponding angles are congruent, and the lengths of the corresponding sides have a ratio of 1:1. Example 1 • If ΔABC ~ ΔRST, list all pairs of congruent angles and write a proportion that relates the corresponding sides. Example 1 • Use the similarity statement.
