5-5 Similar Figures Evaluating Algebraic Expressions California Standards Preparation for MG1.2 Construct and read drawings and models made to scale. 5-5 Similar Figures Notes Evaluating Algebraic Expressions Similar figures have the same shape, but not necessarily the same size. Corresponding sides of two figures are in the same relative position, and corresponding angles are in the same relative position. Two figures are similar if the lengths of corresponding sides are proportional and the corresponding angles have equal measures. 5-5 Similar Figures Notes Evaluating Algebraic Expressions 43° 43° Similar 5-5 Similar Figures Additional Example 1: Identifying Similar Figures Which rectangles are similar? Evaluating Algebraic Expressions Since the three figures are all rectangles, all the angles are right angles. So the corresponding angles are congruent. 5-5 Similar Figures Additional Example 1 Continued Compare the ratios of corresponding sides to see if they are equal. lengthEvaluating of rectangle J length of rectangle K Algebraic Expressions 10 ? 4 width of rectangle J 5 =2 20 = 20 width of rectangle K The ratios are equal. Rectangle J is similar to rectangle K. The notation J ~ K shows similarity. length of rectangle J length of rectangle L 10 ? 4 width of rectangle J 12 = 5 width of rectangle L 50 48 The ratios are not equal. Rectangle J is not similar to rectangle L. Therefore, rectangle K is not similar to rectangle L. 5-5 Similar Figures Check It Out! Example 1 Which rectangles are similar?

The notation A ~ B shows similarity. length of rectangle A length of rectangle C 8 ? 4 width of rectangle A 5= 2 width of rectangle C 16 20 The ratios are not equal. Rectangle A is not similar to rectangle C. Therefore, rectangle B is not similar to rectangle C. 5-5 Similar Figures Additional Example 2: Finding Missing Measures in Similar Figures A picture 10 in. tall and 14 in. wide is to be scaled to 1.5 Evaluating Algebraic Expressions in. tall to be displayed on a Web page. How wide should the picture be on the Web page for the two pictures to be similar? Set up a proportion. Let w be the width of the picture on the Web page. 14 10 width of a picture height of picture = 1.5 width on Web page w height on Web page 14 ∙ 1.5 = w ∙ 10 Find the cross products. 21 = 10w 21 10w Divide both sides by 10. = 10 10 2.1 = w The picture on the Web page should be 2.1 in. wide. 5-5 Similar Figures Check It Out!
