1 Recognize congruent and similar figures. Find the scale factor of similar figures. Similar & Congruent Figures

2 Solve each proportion. 1. 2. 3. Casey spent $31.50 for 9 tickets to the school carnival. How much would 3 tickets to the school carnival cost?

3  Similar: ◦ same shape, different size.  Corresponding Parts: ◦ The angles and sides in similar or congruent figures that match.  Congruent: ◦ Equal in measure (identical twins)  Scale Factor: ◦ The ratio of corresponding sides in two similar figures.

4 1. Corresponding angles are congruent. 2. The measures of corresponding sides are proportional.

5 ΔDOT is similar to ΔSUN. Find the scale factor from ΔDOT to ΔSUN.  Write a ratio of corresponding sides.  Simplify the ratio.  The scale factor from ΔDOT to ΔSUN is or 3 : 5.

6 Determine whether rectangle CARS is similar to rectangle BIKE. If so, find the scale factor.  All corresponding angles are congruent.  Find the ratio of corresponding heights.  Find the ratio of corresponding lengths.  The corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides have equal ratios so CARS ~ BIKE. The scale factor is or 2 : 3.

7 Consider the two squares above. Are the two squares similar? Explain.  Each angle is 90 ⁰, all corresponding angles are equal.  The ratio of any two corresponding sides is:  Yes, the squares are similar. They have a scale factor of 1 : 1.

8 Is Rectangle A similar to Rectangle B?  All corresponding angles are equal (90 ⁰ ).  Find ratio of long sides.  Find ratio of short sides. Rectangle A is NOT similar to Rectangle B. Ratios not equal so sides are not proportional.

9 Is Rectangle A similar to Rectangle C?  All corresponding angles are equal (90 ⁰ ).  Find ratio of long sides.  Find ratio of short sides: Yes Rectangle A is similar to Rectangle C. Ratios are equal so sides are proportional.
