• rational

• different

• proportional

Determine whether the triangles shown are similar. If so, write the similarity statement and scale factor. Explain your reasoning.

• Therefore, we know that triangle NQP is similar to triangle RST, scale factor = 4/5.

• Therefore, we know that triangle NQP is similar to triangle RST, scale factor = 5/3.

• Therefore, we know that triangle NQP is similar to triangle RST, scale factor = 5/4.

• Both the first and third option are suitable answers.

If ABCDE PQRST, find the scale factor of ABCDE to PQRST and the perimeter of each polygon.

• ABCDE = 65, PQRST = 91, scale factor = 5/7

• ABCDE = 65, PQRST = 46.43, scale factor = 7/5

• ABCDE = 65, PQRST = 46.43, scale factor = 5/7
