ABCDE ~ GHIJK. complete the statements
Since ABCDE and GHIJK are similar figures, we know that their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional.
Thus, we can say:
- The ratio of the length of AB to GH is equal to the ratio of the length of BC to HI, which is equal to the ratio of the length of CD to IJ, and so on.
- Angle A is congruent to angle G, angle B is congruent to angle H, and so on.
- The perimeter of ABCDE is proportional to the perimeter of GHIJK, with the proportionality constant being the same as the ratio of the corresponding side lengths.
- The area of ABCDE is proportional to the area of GHIJK, with the proportionality constant being the square of the ratio of the corresponding side lengths.
