11/22 Warm Up: Similar Figures

Front

What are similar figures?

Back

Similar figures are shapes that have the same shape but may differ in size. Their corresponding angles are equal, and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Front

What does it mean for two figures to be similar?

Back

Two figures are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and the lengths of their corresponding sides are proportional.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same position in two different figures when the figures are compared.

Front

Are corresponding angles in similar figures congruent?

Back

Yes, corresponding angles in similar figures are congruent.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of similar figures?

Back

The corresponding sides of similar figures are in proportion.

Front

If two figures have the same shape but different sizes, are they similar?

Back

Yes, if two figures have the same shape, they are similar regardless of their size.

Front

What does it mean if corresponding sides are not in proportion?

Back

If corresponding sides are not in proportion, the figures are not similar.

Front

How can you determine if two figures are similar?

Back

To determine if two figures are similar, check if their corresponding angles are equal and if their corresponding sides are proportional.

Front

What is an example of similar figures?

Back

An example of similar figures is two triangles where one triangle is a scaled version of the other, maintaining the same angles.

Front

What is the significance of congruent angles in similar figures?

Back

Congruent angles in similar figures ensure that the figures maintain the same shape.
