Batman says: “You got this.”
Comparing shapes One way of comparing shapes is to determine if they are - Congruent or - Similar
Congruent shapes Same angles Exact same side lengths Can be rotated, or reflected (flipped) A cut-out of one shape will always fit exactly over the other
Congruent shapes
Similar Figures Same angles Same shape Can be rotated, or reflected MAJOR DIFFERENCE: The side lengths are larger or smaller Side lengths must be in proportion with the original
If you are given the dimensions of one shape, and are asked to find the dimensions of a similar figure Set up equivalent fractions (cross multiplication) new side length new side length old side length old side length
