A ratio that compares the sizes of two similar figures.

Polygons that have the same shape but different sizes, with corresponding angles equal and sides proportional.

Unknown lengths of sides in a similar figure, which can be found using the scale factor.

Sides in two similar figures that are in the same relative position.

The process of applying the scale factor to find missing side lengths in similar figures.

Triangles that are identical in shape and size, with all sides and angles equal.

Specific criteria needed to determine if two triangles are similar.

If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another, the triangles are similar.

If two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another, and the included angles are equal, the triangles are similar.

Angles in the same position when comparing similar shapes, confirming their similarity.

The condition where corresponding side lengths of similar triangles maintain the same ratio.

A notation to express that two polygons are similar, using the symbol (~) between the names of the figures.

Identifying vertices of similar polygons in a specific order to establish congruent angles and proportional sides.

The process of recognizing which sides and angles match between two similar polygons.

The property that states that in similar polygons, the ratios of the corresponding side lengths are equal.

Conditions under which two polygons are declared similar; necessary are equal angles and proportional sides.

Applying previously learned concepts, like corresponding sides, to new scenarios such as finding scale factors.

Figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.

Criteria needed to determine if two triangles are similar.
