What must the side lengths of two dimensional polygonal figures be if the figures are similar?

∙ 13y ago
The side lengths of corresponding sides must all be in the same proportion to each other.
So, for example, if you have a quadrilateral ABCD and you want to prove that it is similar to WXYZ, then you must show that all the side ratios are equal to each other.
That is:
AB/WX = BC/XY = CD/YZ = DA/ZW

What must be true for two dimensional polygonal figures to be similar?
both must be proptional
Explain why similar figures are not always congruent?
similar figures have the same angles but not necessarily the same side lengths
Are all similar figures are congruent?
No because Similar figures are the same shape, angles, and types but not lengths. Congruent means EXACTLY the same in everything.
What information does the scale factor give us about two similar figures?
The ratio of the lengths of their corresponding sides.
What is the definition of a scale factor?
The ratio of any two corresponding similar geometric figures lengths in two . Note: The ratio of areas of two similar figures is the square of the scale factor. The ratio of volumes of two similar figures is the cube of the scale factor. .... (: hope it helped (: .....
For two-dimensional polygonal figures to be similar their side lengths must be?
Corresponding
What must be true for two dimensional polygonal figures to be similar?
both must be proptional
How are corresponding side lengths two similar figures related?
Corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.
Explain why similar figures are not always congruent?
similar figures have the same angles but not necessarily the same side lengths
Two two-dimensional polygons are if their side lengths are proportional?
similar
How can you tell if two figures are similar?
Two figures are similar if: - The measures of their corresponding angles are equal. - The ratios of the lengths of the corresponding sides are proportional.
How a rectangular prism and a pyramid are similar?
Both are 3 dimensional figures.
Do similar figures always have corresponding angles that are equil?
Yes, similar figures always have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding side lengths.
Are all similar figures are congruent?
No because Similar figures are the same shape, angles, and types but not lengths. Congruent means EXACTLY the same in everything.
What makes to two figures similar?
When they have the same interior angles but different side lengths
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.
What is the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures?
scale factor
