Front

Which of the following is NOT true about similar figures? A) Similar figures always have the same shape. B) Similar figures always have the same size. C) Similar figures always have corresponding angles that are equal. D) Similar figures always have corresponding sides that are proportional.

Back

B) Similar figures always have the same size.

Front

What does it mean for two figures to be similar?

Back

Two figures are similar if they have the same shape but not necessarily the same size, with corresponding angles equal and corresponding sides proportional.

Front

If the scale factor of two similar triangles is 3:2, what does this mean for their corresponding sides?

Back

The lengths of the corresponding sides of the triangles are in the ratio 3:2.

Front

What is a similarity statement?

Back

A similarity statement indicates that two figures are similar, using the symbol '~' to show the relationship, such as ΔABC ~ ΔDEF.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are similar using angle-angle (AA) similarity?

Back

If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Front

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

Back

The ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
