Ratio of Similitude
The ratio of similitude of two similar polygons is the ratio of the lengths of any two corresponding sides. C’ B’ A’ C B A It doesn’t matter the sides, they have the same ratio!
Other segments that have the same ratio as the sides: Page 36
Lets look at the perimeters… C’ B’ A’ C B A Remember: perimeter is the sum of all sides! Remember: Ratio of perimeters = ratio of the sides Page 36

This means altitudes, medians, angle bisectors, etc… Ratio of altitudes = ratio of sides = ratio of perimeters
