Similar Figures Review

The polygons are similar, but not necessarily drawn to scale. Find the value of x.

• x = 8

• $x=\frac{11}{2}$

• x = 9

• x = 10

Are the two triangles similar? How do you know?

• no

• yes, by SAS~

• yes, by AA~

• yes, by SSS~

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth?

• 25.2

• 2.0

• 2.4

• 9.4

What is the value of x?

• 8

• 12

• 6

• 2

What is JK?

• $\frac{3}{15}$

• $\frac{3}{5}$

• $\frac{5}{3}$

• 15

Are the polygons similar? If they are, write a similarity statement and give the scale factor.

• $\Delta RST\sim\Delta WUV;\ \ \frac{5}{6}$

• $\Delta RST\sim\Delta UVW;\ \ \frac{5}{6}$

• $\Delta RST\sim\Delta VWU;\ \ \frac{6}{5}$

• The triangles are not similar.

If KL = 9 and JK = 7, what is ML?

• 10
