warm up solve for x x + 1 = x x 1 you will have to use the quadratic formula!
DESCRIPTION
Similar figures: figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. Dilation: when a figure is enlarged to be similar to another figure. Reduction: when a figure is made smaller it also produces similar figures.TRANSCRIPT
WARM UP
Solve for x
X + 1 = X X 1
You will have to use the Quadratic Formula!
8.2 Similarity
Definition: Similar polygons are polygons in which:
1. The ratios of the measures of corresponding sides are equal.
2. Corresponding angles are congruent.
Similar figures: figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.Dilation: when a figure is enlarged to be similar to another figure.Reduction: when a figure is made smaller it also produces similar figures.
Proving shapes similar:
1. Similar shapes will have the ratio of all corresponding sides equal.
2. Similar shapes will have all pairs of corresponding angles congruent.

∆ABC ~ ∆DEF
Therefore: A corresponds to D, B corresponds to E, and C corresponds to F.
