8-6 Perimeters and Areas of Similar FiguresM11.C.1 2.9.11.G Objectives: To find the perimeters and areas of similar figures. PDN: Pg. 454 #4-6
THEOREM: PERIMETERS AND AREAS OF SIMILAR FIGURES • If the similarity ratio of two similar figures is a/b, then • The ratio of their perimeters is a/b and • The ratio of their areas is a²/b²
Example: Two similar polygons • Two similar polygons have corresponding sides in the ratio 4: 8 • Find ratio of perimeters • Find the ratio of their areas
EXAMPLE • The ratio of the lengths of the corresponding sides of two regular octagons is 8/3. The area of the larger octagon is 320 ft². Find the area of the smaller octagon.
Example: Finding Similarity & Perimeter Ratios • The areas of two similar pentagons are 32 in² and 72in². What is their similarity ratio? What is the ratio of their perimeters?
