  1. Geometry 7.2 SWLT: Use Proportions to identify similar polygons

  2. Similar Polygons • Two or more polygons are similar, if corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding side lengths are proportional • Same as when comparing and proving congruency, order is important.

  3. ABC DEF • List all pairs of Congruent Angles A D, B E, C F • Confirm that the ratios of the corresponding side lengths are equal. • Write the ratios of the corresponding side lengths in a statement of proportionality B 8 10 A 12 C E 12 15 F D 18

  4. BCD RST, Find the value of x • Write a Proportion • Substitute • Cross Multiply • Solve for x C 12 13 S 12x = 13(24) 12x = 312 x = 26 D B 5 24 x R 10 T

  5. 8 K L Theorem: Areas of Similar Polygons A = 24 • If two polygons are similar, then the ratio of their areas areequal to the ratios of their corresponding sides. • If KLMN  PQRS, then… • 15(8) = 24PQ • 120 = 24PQ • PQ = 5 N M P Q A = 15 S R
