How are corresponding side lengths two similar figures related?
Corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.
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.
If two figures are similar then are they also congruent?
No. Two figures are similar if they have same shape, and all the angles are equal; but they can have the sides of different sizes. I mean, similar figures may have different sizes, but must have the same shape.
Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
1What is the difference between congruent and similar?
Two congruent geometric figures have the same shape and the same size, whereas two similar geometric figures have the same shape but they differ in size.
What are features that make two planar figures similar?
If all angles of two polygons are the same the figures are similar (irrespective of rotation).
How are corresponding side lengths two similar figures related?
Corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.
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
Can two figures be congruent but not similar?
no because if they are conmgruent then they are similar

What does it mean for two figures to be congruent?
Similar
Do two similar figures have to have the same size?
No.
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 (: .....
What are two figures who have the same shape but different sizes called?
Similar figures.
What is the difference between similar and congruent?
Congruent means two figures have exactly the same shape and size. If the shape is identical, but not the size , two figures are similar.
What makes 2 figures similar?
When the shape is the same but the form is bigger or smaller
