All corresponding angles in similar figures are congruent.  

• True

• False

Tell whether the two figures are similar. Explain your reasoning. (Hint: are they proportional?)

• 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

Are the following similar? Why or why not?

• Yes

• No, the corresponding angles are not equal.

• No, the ratios of the corresponding sides are not equal.
