If corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are proportional two polygons are?
similar polygons
How do you know if two rectangles are similar?
Two rectangles are similar if corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sides are proportional.
When two angles are similar their corresponding angles are?
In geometry, the term "similar" refers to figures that have the same shape but potentially different sizes (length, width, height). Strictly speaking angles don't have "size" so they would not be "similar". On the other hand if we interpret the intent to be to ask about congruent angles in similar figures the corresponding angles (i.e. angles that occupy the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others) will also be congruent. If angles are similar in that they have approximately (but not necessarily exactly) the same measure, then their corresponding angles will also be approximately the same as each other. Stated another way: If angles A and B are very close in measure, and angle C is the corresponding angle of angle A and angle D is the corresponding angle of angle B, then angles C and D will be close in measure within bounds that can be predicted based on the difference in measure between angles A and B.
How do you prove that two triangles are similar?
You either show that the corresponding angles are equal or that the lengths of corresponding sides are in the same ratio.
How can you tell if two polygons are the same?
Two polygons are similar if and only if the corresponding angles are congruent
What angles are two angles that are formed by two lines and a transversal and occupy corresponding positions?
Providing that the two lines are parallel then they are called corresponding angles.
When wo coplanar lines are cut by a transversal two angles that are in similar positions on the same side of the transversal are called?
corresponding angles
If two parallelograms are similar then the corresponding angles are what?
If two parallelograms are similar then the corresponding angles are EQUAL.
What are equal corresponding angles?
isosceles property if two side are equal their corresponding angles are equal
Why are corresponding angles equal?
If the two lines being crossed are parallel lines then the corresponding angles are equal.
Matching angles of two or more polygons?
corresponding angles
What does corresponding angles means?
corresponding angles are angle that if u took one angle it would correspond (witch means equal) with the other angle The angles that occupy the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others. If the two lines are parallel, the corresponding angles are equal!
Why do corresponding angles always have to be the same?
They don't always. When two lines are crossed by another line (called the transversal) the angles in matching corners are called corresponding angles. If the two lines being crossed are parallel lines, then (and only then) the corresponding angles are equal.
Two polygons are similar if the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are?
Proportional.
Can you have two polygons with congruent corresponding sides but not congruent corresponding angles?
No, you cannot.
What is angle side angle prostulate?
If 2 "corresponding" angles of two triangles and the side between the two angles are equal, then the two triangles are congruent. This means all their "corresponding" sides and angles are equal.
Can you assume that corresponding sides and corresponding angles of any two similar triangles are congruent and why?
you can assume that the angles are congruent, but not the sides.
