What are the two conditions that need to be true to prove that two polygons are similar?
That the sides are of the same ratio and that the interior angles are the same.
Must the corresponding angles of two similar regular polygons be equal?
All angle of two similar regular polygons must be equal.
Can two similar polygons be congruent polygons?
Yes. The polygons must be congruent. They must have an even number of sides and angles. -alessandra
Do two similar polygons have to be congruent?
no, they could be different size but same shape and be similar but not congruent.
What makes two shape similar?
Two polygons are similar if all of the following conditions apply: they have the same number of sides; corresponding sides are always in the same ratio; all angles are congruent. For shapes in general, I suspect the definition of similarity is somewhat more complicated.
What are the two conditions that need to be true to prove that two polygons are similar?
That the sides are of the same ratio and that the interior angles are the same.
Which polygons are not similar?
Any two polygons with a different number of sides are not similar.
Two polygons with same shape not size?
The polygons are said to be similar.
How can you tell if two polygons are the same?
Two polygons are similar if and only if the corresponding angles are congruent
Must the corresponding angles of two similar regular polygons be equal?
All angle of two similar regular polygons must be equal.
The corresponding sides of two similar regular polygons must have equal lenghts?
Yes, the corresponding sides of two similar regular polygons must have equal lengths. This is because both the polygons are similar, which means that since they are also polygons, they must have equal lengths.
Are two regular polygons always similar?
no.
What do you call two similar polygons?
congruent
If corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are proportional two polygons are?
similar polygons
Two two-dimensional polygons are similar if their are proportional?
sidelengths
What determines if two polygons are congruent?
similar polygons may not be congruent (different sizes) congruent polygons are always similar (equal in every geometric respect - including
Are any two regular polygons with the same number of sides similar?
Yes, regular polygons will have all sides equal length, and all angles the same. If two polygons of the same number of sides are 'regular' then those two polygons will be similar (they may be scaled, for example).
