What is the relationship between corresponding sides in similar triangles?
Corresponding sides are congruent with one another, meaning they have the same length/measurement
What are similar solids?
similar shapes have corresponding angles that are equal. Also, any length in one shape is equal to the scale factor times the corresponding length in the other shape.
Similar triangles are triangles whose corresponding angles are congruent and whose corresponding sides are in length?
proportional
What is the name for the ratio of the length of one side of a figure to the length of the corresponding side of a similar figure?
scale factor
Can two shapes be congruent and not similar?
In short, no. Similar shapes are shapes in which all corresponding angles congruent regardless of the length of the sides. Congruent shapes have congruent corresponding angles and corresponding sides. In effect congruent shapes is a special condition of similar shapes.

If to polygons are similar how can you find the scale factor?
You divide a length of one polygon by the corresponding length in the other polygon. Any length will do, as long as you use the corresponding length in both.
Similar triangles are triangles whose corresponding are congruent and whose corresponding sides are proportional in length?
angles

What is the difference between scale factor and scale ratio?
if two polygons are similar, then the ratio of the length of 2 corresponding sides is called a scale factor
What is the name for the ratio of the length of one side of a figure to the length of the corresponding side of a similar figure?
scale factor
If two parallelograms are similar what do you know about the ratios of the two side lengths within one parallelograms and the ratios of the correspondingside lengths in the other parallelogram?
If and when two parallelograms are similar, you know that the ratio of two side lengths within one parallelogram will describe the relationship between the corresponding side lengths in a similar parallelogram. If and when two parallelograms are similar, you know that the ratio of corresponding side lengths in the other parallelogram will give you the scale factor that relates each side length in one parallelogram to the corresponding side length in a similar parallelogram.
Can two shapes be congruent and not similar?
In short, no. Similar shapes are shapes in which all corresponding angles congruent regardless of the length of the sides. Congruent shapes have congruent corresponding angles and corresponding sides. In effect congruent shapes is a special condition of similar shapes.
The ratio of the lengths of corresponding parts in two similar solids is 41 What is the ratio of their surface areas?
Area = length x length Therefore the ratio of areas of two similar objects is the square of the ratio of lengths. Lengths - 1 : 41 Areas - 12 : 412 = 1 : 1681
HOW do you find the similar ratio of a triangle?
Divide the length of a side of one triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle.
Must the corresponding sides of two similar regular polygons must have equal length?
Yes.
