8.2: Similar Polygons Objective: To identify and apply similar polygons
Similar Polygons (~) Same shape but not necessarily the same size Two Polygons are similar if: 1.Corresponding angles are congruent 2.Corresponding sides are proportional Similarity Ratio: ratio of the corresponding sides of similar figures
Determining Similarity and Writing Similarity Ratios corresponds to: Corresponding Angles are congruent Similarity ratio:Similarity statement: A F B C E D
