Geometry Similar Shapes

What are similar figures?

• Shapes that have the same shape and corresponding angels are congruent, but the sides are not necessarily the same size.

• Compares the sizes of the parts of the scale drawing to the actual sizes on the original object.

• They are shapes that are in the same position in different plane figures.

• They are shapes that have different ratios.

Tell whether the two figures are similar. Explain your reasoning.

• Yes, similar because they are the same shape and side lengths are proportional.
• No, not similar because they are the same shape, but side lengths are not proportional.
• Yes, same shape
• No, different sizes
