7.2 Similar Polygons Pg 365 Objective: Students will use proportions to identify similar polygons.
2
Similar polygons Similar polygons- 2 polygons that have corresponding s and proportional corresponding side lengths. AB C D W X Y Z ABCD~WXYZ
3
Trapezoid ABCD~ Trapezoid WXYZ. List all the pairs of s and a statement of proportionality of the ratios of the corresponding sides AWBXCYDZAWBXCYDZ AB CD W X YZ
4
Example decide whether the Δs are ~. A B C X Z Y __ 4 7 12 21 36 ) )) ) Yes, because all corresponding s are and there is a ratio of 1:3 between all pairs of corresponding sides.
5
Example cont. L M N P Q R 10.5 18 12 4 9 Not ~ because not all the corresponding s are ( )
6
Scale Factor Scale factor- the ratio of the lengths of 2 corresponding sides of ~ polygons. __ 12in 36in 126in 42in The 2 pics are ~, what is the scale factor? enlargement painting
7
Example cont. What would the ratios of the perimeters be? 2(12)+2(36)=96 2(42)+2(126)=336
8
Thm 6.1Perimeters of similar Polygons. If 2 polygons are ~ then the ratio of their perimeters is = to the ratio of their corresponding lengths Ratio of perimeters = scale factor
9
Example: parallelogram ABCD ~ parallelogram GBEF. Find the value of y and the ratio of the perimeters. B G A E F C D Y 12 15 24 15y=288 y=19.2 Ratio of Perimeters = 5/8
