Lesson 13.1 Similar Figures pp. 536-539
Objectives: 1. To define similar polygons. 2. To apply proportions to problems involving similar figures.
Definition Similar polygons are polygons having corresponding angles that are congruent and corresponding sides that are proportional. If ABC and DEF are similar, the proper notation is ABC ~ DEF.
AB BC CA = = DE EF FD What exactly does ABC ~ DEF mean? A D, B E, & C F
A ratio is the comparison of two numbers. A proportion is an equation with two equal ratios. To solve a proportion, cross multiply.

If the corresponding angles of two polygons are congruent and the corresponding sides are proportional, then you know the two figures are similar.
Practice: Set up a proportion for the following dilation and solve for the missing term. 1. AB = 5, A′B′ = 75, CD = 3. Find C′D′.
