Geometry Lesson 7 – 2 Similar Polygons Objective: Use proportions to identify similar polygons. Solve problems using the properties of similar polygons. Similar Polygons What does it mean to be similar? Same shape, but not necessarily the same size. Similar polygons Two polygons are similar if and only if their corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding side lengths are proportional. ABCD is similar to WXYZ Means similar to If FGH ~ JKL, list all pairs of congruent angles and write a proportion that relates the corresponding sides. Scale Factor The ratio of the lengths of the corresponding sides of two similar polygons 6/3 = 2 3/6 = 1/2 Kuma wants to use the rectangular photo shown as the background for her computer’s desktop, but she needs to resize it. Determine whether the following rectangular images are similar. If so, write the similarity statement and scale factor. Explain your reasoning. Corresponding angles are congruent since all are rectangles. 10 5 2 8 Not proportional 14 7 12 3 8 2 12 3 10 2 15 3Cont.. Since the angles are congruent and the sides are proportional, ABCD ~ JKLM with a scale factor of 2/3 Determine if the triangles are similar. If so write the similarity statement and scale factor. Angles are congruent since 2 angles are congruent so are the 3rd angles. 12.5 11.5 15 10 9.2 12 1.25 = 1.25 1.25 = 1.25 1.25 = 1.25 Check that all of the proportions are true. Yes the triangles are proportional. NQP ~ RST Scale factor: 5 4 ACDF ~ VWYZ Find x. x 9 10 6 Make sure the right Things are paired up.
