Study Notes

Similar Figures

Similar figures have the same shape but different sizes.
Corresponding angles of similar figures are equal.
Corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.
The ratio of corresponding sides is called the scale factor.

Area of Similar Shapes

The ratio of the areas of two similar figures is equal to the square of the scale factor.
If the scale factor between two similar figures is k, then the ratio of their areas is k².

Real-Life Applications of Similarity

Architects use similarity to scale models of buildings.
Mapmakers use similarity to represent real-world distances on a map.
Photographers use similarity to enlarge or reduce photographs.
