Lesson 8-2: Similar Polygons shape size • Similar: “Same _______ – different ______” • Think of it is ______________________ expansion/contraction A X 10 6 15 C 9 B 8 Z Y 12 angles Look for properties about _____________ and __________________ sides
Two properties: • Corresponding angles in similar figures are ____________ • Corresponding sides are_____________ congruent proportional matching Corresponding means _____________ Similarity We can write a ___________ Statement: ABC XYZ ∆ _________ ~ ∆ __________ NEW SYMBOL!!! ~ MEANS _________________ “similar to
Solution: a) 780; corresponding angles are congruent b) AC; corresponds to BC – sides are proportional Solution: Check sides are proportional: Check corresponding angles are congruent: 1st figure: 120, 60, 120, 60; 2nd: 100, 80, 100, 80 NOT SIMILAR
Solution: Set up a proportion: Cross-multiply & divide: x = 16 _______________ Ratio: the ratio of a corresponding ________ in similar figures Similarity sides Example 3 Similarity Ratio = ______ = _______
