What polygon is similar to every other polygon of the same name?
square and rhombus
How do you know when a polygon is a regular polygon?
If every side of the polygon is the same length, then it is a regular polygon. If the measure of every internal angle of a polygon is the same as every other, then it is a regular polygon. The two always go together, so you need to check only one of the above criteria.
Are 2 rectangles similar?
Only if they both have the same ratio of length to width. Since every square has the same ratio of length to width ( it's 1 ), all squares are similar. Gee, when you think about it, every regular polygon is similar to every other regular polygon with the same number of sides. I never realized that.
A polygon has 12 sides how many vertices does the polygon have?
Twelve. The number of sides and vertices in a polygon are always the same.
What is Matching parts of a similar polygon called?
Their angles will be the same sizes.
What polygon is similar to every other polygon of the same name?
square and rhombus
What is a similar polygon?
There cannot be a similar polygon by itself. One polygon is similar to another if all of their corresponding angles are equal. This requires that the lengths of corresponding sides are in the same ratio: that is, if one polygon is a dilation of the other.

What type of triangle is always similar to all other triangles of the same type?
90 degree triangles are always similar.
Why does a polygon always have same amount of sides as angles?
Because Every Point On The Polygon Has The Same Amount Of Sides
A polygon has 12 sides how many vertices does the polygon have?
Twelve. The number of sides and vertices in a polygon are always the same.
Are rectangles always similar to each other?
Similar shapes need to have the same number of sides, the same angles and the ratio of the sides needs to be the same. Rectangles are not always similar to each other because they can have different dimensions, which would break the "same ratio" rule.
What is Matching parts of a similar polygon called?
Their angles will be the same sizes.
Do similar triangles always have congruent angles?
Yes, in similar triangles, the angles are always congruent, and the sides have the same proportions to each other.
Will the number of lines of symmetry for a polygon always be the same as the number of vertices?
No, a polygon can have fewer lines of symmetry.
Does a polygon always have the same number of vertices as sides?
yes
