the sides in similar figures that are in proportion and are in the same position
the angles in similar figures that have the same measure and are in the same position

Answer 1

Here is the matching of the vocabulary words to their definitions:

1. Scale Factor - the ratio between the size of an actual object and a representation of that object.

2. Corresponding Sides - the sides in similar figures that are in proportion and are in the same position.

3. Similar - describes two figures that have equal corresponding angle measures and proportional sides.

4. Proportion - an equation in which two ratios are equal to each other.

5. Corresponding Angles - the angles in similar figures that have the same measure and are in the same position.

6. Dilation - increasing or decreasing the size of a shape.

This matches each vocabulary word with its appropriate definition.
