• Translation 5 units left, 1 unit up.
• Translation 5 units right, 1 unit down

Are the triangles similar? Explain.

• No, because only one angle of the triangles is congruent.
• Yes, because two of the angles are congruent.
• No, because only one triangle has a right angle.
• Not enough information to determine.

If two figures are similar their angles are______.

• proportional

• complementary

If two figures are similar, the corresponding sides are ______________.

• equal
• congruent
• proportional
• none of these

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.
