5-5 Similar Figures Matching sides are called corresponding sides A B C D E F 1.) Which side is corresponding to ? 2.) Which side is corresponding to ? 3.) Which side is corresponding to ?

Sometimes the figures are turned around. Find the corresponding sides of the figures. F U N T R I 3.) Which side is corresponding to ? 2.) Which side is corresponding to ? 1.) Which side is corresponding to ?

Similar Figures: 1.) Corresponding sides must form equivalent ratios 2.) Corresponding angles must be congruent (equal) Are these shapes similar? Why or why not? 10 m 5 m 6 m 3 m
