  1. How to Shrink it?

  2. Taylor Nicole’s House • This is Taylor Nicole’s illustration for a house on Geometry Sketchpad. • Use your ruler and protractor to draw the house on your paper.

  3. Honey, I shrunk the house! • Lola, Lily, and Lulu love Taylor Nicole’s house, but find it a little to large for their liking. • In other words, they want to shrink the house down to a smaller size while keeping it exactly the same shape. • After a long discussion, each came up with a strategy for drawing the smaller house.

  4. Whose way to choose? • Lola’s Way: Keep all the angles as they are and subtract five centimeters from the length of each side. • Lily’s Way: Keep all the lengths as they are and divide all the angles by two. • Lulu’s Way: Keep all the angles as they are and divide the lengths of all the sides by two.

  5. What does it mean? • So after looking at Lola, Lily, and Lulu’s methods, what rules must be followed to keep a polygon similar?
