In the case of polygons (basically the simplest case), you need to determine that corresponding sides are proportional (for example, all sides in figure "B" are twice as large as the corresponding sides in figure "A"), and that corresponding angles are equal.

Can a reflection be used to determine if figures are similar?
yes. if the two figures are the same size and shape, then they are similar
What does congruent mean in shapes?
A shape that is similar to another freakin shape i <3 Justin bieber
What does similar figure mean?
A figure that is the same shape as another but could be a different size.
How do you find the dimensions of a figure if you know the dimensions of a similar figure?
If two objects have the same shape, they are called "similar." When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles shown are similar, compare their corresponding sides.
What is a simmilar figures?
A similar figure is proportionally the same shape as another figure and all the angles are the same.

What means the same as similar?
Similar, in geometry, means that the shape has the same angles in degrees as another shape. They do not, however, need to have the same length on their sides.
What two thing determine whether or not a molecule is polar?

What is the definition of enlargement in math terms?
An enlargement is of one shape is another, similar shape whose dimensions are bigger.
What does similar figure mean?
A figure that is the same shape as another but could be a different size.
Does congruent mean having the same size and shape?
Yes, it does. A congruent shape has the same shape and size as another shape. A shape that is similar is the same shape, just a different size, like a proportion.
How can you determine mathematically if two figures are similar?
If the two figures are the same shape. Also if the ratios of the lengths of the corresponding sides are equal.
