  1. Q  Z; R  Y; S  X; QR  ZY; RS  YX; QS  ZX Warm Up 1.If ∆QRS  ∆ZYX, identify the pairs of congruent angles and the pairs of congruent sides. Solve each proportion. 2.3. x = 9 x = 18

  2. Similar Polygons Section 6-2

  3. Figures that are similar(~) have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.

  4. Two polygons are similar polygons if and only if their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding side lengths are proportional.

  5. Example: Describing Similar Polygons 0.5 Identify the pairs of congruent angles and corresponding sides. N  Q and P  R. By the Third Angles Theorem, M  T.

  6. A similarity ratiois the ratio of the lengths of the corresponding sides of two similar polygons. The similarity ratio of ∆ABC to ∆DEF is or . The similarity ratio of ∆DEF to ∆ABC is or 2.

  7. Thus the similarity ratio is , and rect. ABCD ~ rect. EFGH. Example: Identifying Similar Polygons Determine whether the polygons are similar. If so, write the similarity ratio and a similarity statement.

  8. Example: Identifying Similar Polygons Determine whether the polygons are similar. If so, write the similarity ratio and a similarity statement. The triangles are not similar because the corresponding angles are not congruent.

  9. Scale Factor • Numerical value of ratio of similar figures. • To find scale factor: size of model / size of actual • Use proportions to find missing sides of similar polygons. • Use scale factor to enlarge or minimize a figure using proportions.

  10. Example: Hobby Application Find the length of the model to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. Let x be the length of the model in centimeters. The rectangular model of the racing car is similar to the rectangular racing car, so the corresponding lengths are proportional.

  11. Lesson Quiz: Part I 1. Determine whether the polygons are similar. If so, write the similarity ratio and a similarity statement. 2. The ratio of a model sailboat’s dimensions to the actual boat’s dimensions is . If the length of the model is 10 inches, what is the length of the actual sailboat in feet? no 25 ft

  12. Lesson Quiz: Part II 3. Tell whether the following statement is sometimes, always, or never true. Two equilateral triangles are similar. Always
