Sides of similar figures QuickChek

When two figures are similar, it means that they have the same shape but may be different sizes. The corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional, meaning that they are in the same ratio to each other.

For example, if one figure has sides of lengths 2, 4, and 6, and another figure has corresponding sides of lengths 4, 8, and 12, the sides are in a 1:2 ratio to each other. This means that if you were to double the length of one figure, the corresponding sides of the other figure would also double in length.

In summary, the sides of similar figures are proportional to each other, meaning that they are in the same ratio.
