Lesson 2 Ex1
Similar Polygons
A. Determine whether each pair of figures is similar. Justify your answer.
The vertex angles are marked as 40º and 50º, so they are not congruent.
Similar Polygons
Answer: None of the corresponding angles are congruent, so the triangles are not similar.
Since both triangles are isosceles, the base angles in
each triangle are congruent. In the first triangle, the base
angles measure and in the second
triangle, the base angles measure
Similar Polygons
B. Determine whether each pair of figures is similar. Justify your answer.
All the corresponding angles are congruent.
Similar Polygons
Now determine whether corresponding sides are proportional.
The ratios of the measures of the corresponding sides are equal.
Answer: The ratio of the measures of the corresponding sides are equal and the corresponding angles are congruent, so ΔABC ~ ΔRST.
A. Yes, ΔAXE ~ ΔWRT.
B. Yes, ΔAXE ~ ΔRWT.
C. No, the Δ's are not ~.

A. Determine whether the pair of figures is similar.
A. Yes, ΔTRS ~ ΔNGA.
B. Yes, ΔTRS ~ ΔGNA.
C. No, the Δ's are not ~.
D. not enough information
B. Determine whether the pair of figures is similar.
ARCHITECTURE An architect prepared a 12-inch model of a skyscraper to look like a real 1100-foot building. What is the scale factor of the model compared to the real building?
Before finding the scale factor you must make sure that both measurements use the same unit of measure.
1 foot = 12 inches
Answer: The ratio comparing the two heights is
or 1:1100. The scale factor is , which
means that the model is the height of the
real skyscraper.

Quadrilateral GCDE is similar to quadrilateral JKLM
with a scale factor of . If two of the sides of GCDE
measure 7 inches and 14 inches, what are the lengths
of the corresponding sides of JKLM?
Scales on Maps
The scale on the map of a city is inch equals 2
miles. On the map, the width of the city at its widest
point is inches. The city hosts a bicycle race
across town at its widest point. Tashawna bikes at
10 miles per hour. How long will it take her to
complete the race?
Explore Every equals 2 miles. The
distance across the city at its widest point is

The distance across the city is 30 miles.
Plan Create a proportion relating the measurements to the scale to find the distance in miles. Then use the formula to find the time.
Divide each side by 0.25.
Answer: 3 hours
Scales on Maps
Divide each side by 10.
It would take Tashawna 3 hours to bike across town.
Examine To determine whether the answer is reasonable, reexamine the scale. If 0.25 inches = 2 miles, then 4 inches = 32 miles. The distance across the city is approximately 32 miles. At 10 miles per hour, the ride would take about 3 hours. The answer is reasonable.
A. 3.75 hr
B. 1.25 hr
C. 5 hr
D. 2.5 hr
An historic train ride is planned between two landmarks on the Lewis and Clark Trail. The scale on a map that includes the two landmarks is 3 centimeters = 125 miles. The distance between the two landmarks on the map is 1.5 centimeters. If the train travels at an average rate of 50 miles per hour, how long will the trip between the landmarks take?

3:2 is in lowest terms.
AB:BC could be 3:2, 6:4, 9:6, 12:8,
etc.
AB = 3x
BC = 2x
Perimeter = l + w+ l + w
60 = 3x + 2x + 3x + 2x
60 = 10x
x = 6
L = 3(6) = 18
