    Study Notes

    Composition of Transformations

    • Involves applying one transformation to a figure and a second transformation to the resultant image.
    • Used to achieve complex transformations through sequential operations.

    Corresponding Parts

    • Refers to parts of figures that are congruent or similar that correspond to each other.
    • Essential in establishing the relationship between figures when proving congruence or similarity.

    Indirect Measurement

    • A strategy that employs properties of similar polygons to estimate lengths or distances that are challenging to measure using standard methods.
    • Useful in various real-world applications, such as surveying and architecture.

    Scale Factor

    • Defined as the ratio comparing the lengths of two corresponding sides of similar polygons.
    • Critical for understanding the proportional relationships in geometric figures.

    Similar Figures

    • Two figures are considered similar if one can be derived from another through transformations and dilations.
    • This concept is foundational in geometry for analyzing shape comparison.

    Similar Polygons

    • Polygons that share the same shape but may differ in size.
    • All corresponding angles are equal, and the lengths of corresponding sides are proportional.
