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 is the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures?
scale factor
For two-dimensional polygonal figures to be similar their side lengths must be?
Corresponding
How can you determine when two triangles are similar?
You determine the similarity of two triangles through the equality of each two relevant lines and the equality of each relevant two interior angels.
What are three properties that make two figures mathematically similar?
even,odd,multiple,factor
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
How do you find the dimensions of a figure if you know the dimensions of a similar figure?
If two objects have the same shape, they are called "similar." When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles shown are similar, compare their corresponding sides.
What two pieces of data are needed to mathematically determine density?
Mass and total volume
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 do you mathematically determine who wins a turn between two fictitious characters?
The question is so generic as to be meaningless. What game? Why does it matter that the players are fictitious? Why do you think it's possible/necessary to "mathematically determine" the winner?
How are corresponding side lengths two similar figures related?
Corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.
Can two figures be congruent but not similar?
no because if they are conmgruent then they are similar
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.
What does it mean for two figures to be congruent?
Similar
Do two similar figures have to have the same size?
No.
