The Concept of Similarity
Similar Triangles
Two objects are called similar if they have the same shape but possibly different
sizes.

The Concept of Similarity
Similar Triangles
You can think of similar objects as one one being a enlargement or reduction of
the other.
![Page 8: The session shall begin shortly… · The Concept of Similarity Similar Triangles Two objects are called similar if they have the same shape but possibly different sizes](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052019/6032a2b854a01456fb12444b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Concept of Similarity
Similar Triangles
You can think of similar objects as one being an enlargement or reduction of the
other (zoom in, zoom out).
The degree of enlargement or reduction is called the SCALE FACTOR

QUESTION!
If a polygon is enlarged or reduced, which part changes and which part remains the same?

Two polygons are SIMILAR if they have the same shape but not necessarily of the same size.
Symbol used: ~ (is SIMILAR to)

The Concept of Similarity
Similar Triangles
Two polygons are SIMILAR if they have the same shape but not necessarily of the same size.
If they are similar, then
1. The corresponding angles remain the same (or are CONGRUENT)
2. The corresponding sides are related by the same scale factor (or, are PROPORTIONAL)

Similar Triangles The two triangles shown
are similar because they have the same three angle measures.
The order of the letters is important: corresponding letters should name congruent angles.
