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

Write and solve a proportion for corresponding sides. The pair of figures is similar. Find the missing side, x.

• x = 1

• x = 3

• x = 9
