The rectangles are dilations of each other because they have a common scale factor

• true

• false

CCSS.8.G.A.3

What is the scale factor?

• 1.5

• 2

• 3

• The is no single (common) scale factor... the rectangles are not proportionate

CCSS.7.G.A.1

Are the two rectangles "similar" ?

• Yes, because each side length in one figure is multiplied by the SAME scale factor to get the corresponding side length in the other figure.

• No, because each side length in one figure cannot be multiplied by the SAME scale factor to get the corresponding side length in the other figure.

Select all that are true. When two polygons are similar:

• Every angle and side in one polygon has a corresponding part in the other polygon.

• All pairs of corresponding angles have the same measure.
