Do the angles of similar figures have the same measure?
Yes. Similar figures are the same shape, but not necessarily the same size; their angles are equal.
Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
What is alike and different about similar and congruent figures?
If two figures are similar or congruent, each angle of the first figure is the same as the corresponding angle of the second figure.In similar figures, the ratio of each side in the first figure to the corresponding side in the second figure is a constant. If the figures are congruent, that ratio is 1: that is, the corresponding sides are of the same measure.
Do similar figures have corresponding angles that are supplementary?
Corresponding angles in similar figures should be the same, not supplementary.
How are corresponding side lengths two similar figures related?
Corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.
What is similar figures and proportion?
proportions are equal things like say 10 hot dogs = 10 hamburgers. same for simalar figures except with shapes or figures.
What is a method of measuring an object by using formulas similar figures or proportions?
I don't care all that you to me was blah blah blah
Do the angles of similar figures have the same measure?
Yes. Similar figures are the same shape, but not necessarily the same size; their angles are equal.
How can you recognize similar figures?
They have the same measure of base and height.
What in similar figures have the same measure called?
like terms
How are corresponding angles of two similar figures related?
They have the same measure.
What is similar about scale factor and proportions?
proportions are used in scale factors; scale factors ARE proportions
Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
What is alike and different about similar and congruent figures?
If two figures are similar or congruent, each angle of the first figure is the same as the corresponding angle of the second figure.In similar figures, the ratio of each side in the first figure to the corresponding side in the second figure is a constant. If the figures are congruent, that ratio is 1: that is, the corresponding sides are of the same measure.
Can congruent figures be similar figures?
All congruent figures are similar figures, and have identical sizes.
How do you solve your math problems dealing with similar figures?
Any two corresponding sides in two similar figures have a common ratio called the scale factor. Since the figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides of the figures are equal. 1. Match a side of both figures, 2. write the proportions 3. substitute the values 4. Write the cross product 5. Divide both sides by a common factor 6. simplify 7. Convert improper fraction into mixed number
What is similar about scale and scale factor?
proportions are used in scale factors; scale factors ARE proportions
