The side lengths of corresponding sides must all be in the same proportion to each other.

So, for example, if you have a quadrilateral ABCD and you want to prove that it is similar to WXYZ, then you must show that all the side ratios are equal to each other.

That is:

AB/WX = BC/XY = CD/YZ = DA/ZW

Yes, similar figures always have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding side lengths.


Are all similar figures are congruent?

No because Similar figures are the same shape, angles, and types but not lengths. Congruent means EXACTLY the same in everything.

How do you know if a figure is similar to another one?

Two figures are similar if they have the same shape but not necessarily the same size, which means their corresponding angles are equal, and the lengths of their corresponding sides are proportional. To determine similarity, you can compare the angles of both figures; if all corresponding angles are equal, the figures are similar. Additionally, you can check the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides; if these ratios are consistent, the figures are also similar.


How can you determine mathematically if two figures are similar?

If the two figures are the same shape. Also if the ratios of the lengths of the corresponding sides are equal.
