Chapter 3: Solving Equations Section 5 – Proportions and Similar Figures
Vocabulary Similar figures Scale Scale factor Dilation Example Figures that have the same shape, not the same size Ratio of a distance in a drawing to the corresponding actual distance Ratio of the dimensions of a new image to the dimensions of the original figure A transformation in which a figure and its image are similar Example
