Measurements of similar figures quick check
To determine if two figures are similar, we need to check if their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional.
Here is a quick check for measurements of similar figures:
1. Compare the corresponding angles: Are all corresponding angles congruent?
- If yes, continue to step 2.
- If no, the figures are not similar.
2. Compare the corresponding side lengths: Are all corresponding sides proportional?
- Calculate the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides.
- If the ratios are equal for all corresponding sides, then the figures are similar.
- If the ratios are not equal for at least one pair of corresponding sides, the figures are not similar.
