Second Try 6th Period Fast and Curious: Similar Figures

Front

What does it mean for two figures to be similar?

Back

Two figures are similar if they have the same shape and proportional size.

Front

What is AA Similarity?

Back

AA Similarity states that if two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is SSS Similarity?

Back

SSS Similarity states that if the sides of one triangle are proportional to the sides of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is SAS Similarity?

Back

SAS Similarity states that if two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are equal, then the triangles are similar.

Front

How do you determine if two figures are similar?

Back

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

Front

What is a scale factor in similar figures?

Back

A scale factor is the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides of two similar figures.

The lengths of TUV are 8, 12, and 16.

Front

What is the relationship between the areas of two similar figures?

Back

The ratio of the areas of two similar figures is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding side lengths.
