SIMILAR FIGURES
Similar figures are two
figures that are the
same shape and whose
sides are proportional
~ This is
the symbol
that means
“similar.”
These figures
are the same
shape but
different
sizes.
Example :

A 25 cm x 15 cm rectangle and a 10 cm x 6 cm
rectangle are given. Are the rectangles similar?
15 cm

6cm
10 cm

25 cm
ANSWER (≧∇≦)/
The two rectangles have equal corresponding angles
each of which is a right angle.
Ratio of the length = 25 cm : 10 cm = 5 : 2
Ratio of the width = 15 cm : 6 cm = 5 : 2
Thus, Two rectangles are similar . Because the
corresponding angles are equal and the
corresponding sides are proportional.

are congruent, respectively, to
three angles of a second
triangle, then the triangles are

ANSWER
ᾈňšὠὲ ŕ (•"̮•)
In △ABC :
AB = 9 cm
BC = 6 cm
CA = 12 cm
In △ DEF :
DE = 15 cm
EF = 10 cm
FD = 20 cm

AB : DE

= 9 cm : 15 cm
=3:5
BC : EF
= 6 cm : 10 cm
=3:5
CA : FD
= 12 cm : 20 cm
=3:5
Thus, △ABC and △FED are
similar since all the
corresponding sides are
proportional
• The Pairs of equal angles
are :
A=D,B=E, C=F

Since parallelogram ABCD and EFGH
are congruent :
EH = AB, thus AB = 7 cm
AD = GH , thus AD = 12 cm
When we talk about congruent
triangles,
we mean everything about
them Is congruent.
All 3 pairs of corresponding
angles are equal….

And all 3 pairs of corresponding sides are eq
Proving Triangles Congruent
• To prove that two triangles are
congruent it is only necessary to
B
show that some corresponding
parts are congruent.
• For example, suppose that in
AB DE

IN TWO TRIANGLES, IF ONE PAIR OF ANGLES
ARE CONGRUENT, ANOTHER PAIR OF ANGLES
ARE CONGRUENT, AND THE PAIR OF SIDES IN
BETWEEN THE PAIRS OF CONGRUENT ANGLES
ARE CONGRUENT, THEN THE TRIANGLES ARE
CONGRUENT.

In two triangles, if one pair
of angles are congruent,
another pair of angles are
congruent, and a pair of
sides not between the two
angles are congruent, then
the triangles are
congruent.
For example, in the figure,
if the corresponding parts
are congruent as marked,
then
