Lesson 6-2 Similar polygons
(similarity statement) Lesson 6-2 Definition D E F 15 10 20 (similar to) A B C 8 12 16 (similarity statement) Two polygons are similar if and only if Corresponding Angles are congruent Corresponding sides are proportional The ratio of Corresponding sides is called Scale Factor
1) Are the polygons similar? Lesson 6-2 Examples 1) Are the polygons similar? 2) If they are, write a similarity statement 3) and give the scale factor. 1) Check for corresponding angles and sides ANGLES SIDES Yes they are ~ 2) Similarity statement 3) Scale Factor
