8.2 Similarity Definition: Similar polygons are polygons in which: The ratios of the measures of corresponding sides are equal. Corresponding angles are congruent.
Similar figures: figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. Dilation: when a figure is enlarged to be similar to another figure. Reduction: when a figure is made smaller it also produces similar figures.
Proving shapes similar: Similar shapes will have the ratio of all corresponding sides equal. Similar shapes will have all pairs of corresponding angles congruent.
Example: ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF D A 8 12 6 4 C E F B 5 10 Therefore: A corresponds to D, B corresponds to E, and C corresponds to F. The ratios of the measures of all pairs of corresponding sides are equal. = = =
Each pair of corresponding angles are congruent. <B <E <A <D <C <F
