How do you measure shapes with a protractor?
A protractor is used to measure angles.
What are similarities of congruent shapes and similar shapes?
The angles for congruent shapes and the angles in similar shapes are all the same. All the sides are also proportional in both. Basically, all congruent shapes are similar but not all similar shapes are congruent.
What is the name for shapes with sides the same lengths and same sized angles?
regular polygons
How are similar shapes uesful?
Information that you have about one shape can be transferred to the other. For example, the measure of corresponding angles will be the same; the lengths of each pair of corresponding sides will be in the same ratio.
What is the relationship between two shapes if they're similar?
All corresponding angles are the same, and corresponding sides are proportional.
How do two geometric shapes need to be similar?
They need to have the same angles and proportional side lengths.
What kind of shape features congruent corresponding angles and side lengths that form proportional relationships?
Similar shapes.
Do similar shapes always have to have corresponding sides that are proportional?
Yes, similar figures always have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding side lengths.
What does reguler shapes?
Regular shapes have equal side lengths and equal angles
What does geometrically similar mean?
When two shapes have proportionally equivalent lengths and angles, they are geometrically similar. For example, take a triangle with sides of length 3, 4, and 5. Another triangle with side lengths 6, 8, and 10 would be geometrically similar to it because its angles are the same and its side lengths are proportional.
What do similar figures have that's the same?
They have similar proportional shapes and the same angles.

What does it mean for two shapes to be similar?
Two geometric shapes are similar if they have same size,shape, side lengths,and angles.
What is a two dimensional shape with different lengths and angles?
They are said to be irregular shapes or polygons
