10. Objective
SWBAT use ratios to determine if two figures are similar

11. Section 4.4 “Similar Figures”
Two figures are SIMILAR FIGURES if they have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. The symbol ~ indicates two figures are similar.
Two figures are similar if:
1). The measures of their corresponding angles are equal
2). The ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are proportional (equal ratios)

12. Corresponding angles –
matching angles of two figures
When 2 angles have the same measure, they are marked with the same symbol or measurement. D

13. Corresponding sides –
matching sides of two figures D A F E C B

14. Given ABC ~ XYZ, name the corresponding angles and corresponding sides.

15. Identify the corresponding sides in the pair of triangles
Identify the corresponding sides in the pair of triangles. Then use ratios to determine whether the triangles are similar. E
AB corresponds to DE.

AC corresponds to DF. B AB DE = ? BC EF = ? AC DF
Write ratios using the corresponding sides. 4 16 = ? 7 28 = ? 10 40
Substitute the length of the sides. 1 4 = ? 1 4 = ? 1 4
Simplify each ratio.
Since the ratios of the corresponding sides are equivalent, the triangles are similar.

AC corresponds to DF. B AB DE = ? BC EF = ? AC DF
Write ratios using the corresponding sides. 3 9 = ? 7 21 = ? 8 32
Substitute the length of the sides. 1 3 = ? 1 3 = ? 1 4
Simplify each ratio.
Since the ratios of the corresponding sides are not equivalent, the triangles are not similar.

17. With triangles, if the corresponding side lengths are all proportional, then the corresponding angles MUST have equal measures.
With figures that have 4 or more sides, if the corresponding side lengths are all proportional, then corresponding angles MAY or MAY NOT have equal measures.
ABCD is not similar to WXYZ because corresponding sides are proportional and but corresponding angles are NOT equal.
QRST ~ ABCD because corresponding sides are proportional and corresponding angles are equal.

18. Tell whether the figures are similar.
The corresponding angles of the figures have equal measure. MN QR = ? NO RS OP ST MP QT
Write ratios using corresponding sides. 6 9 = ? 8 12 4 10 15
Substitute the length of the sides. 2 3 = ?
