To determine if two figures are similar, we need to check if their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional.
Here is a quick check for measurements of similar figures:
1. Compare the corresponding angles: Are all corresponding angles congruent?
- If yes, continue to step 2.
- If no, the figures are not similar.
2. Compare the corresponding side lengths: Are all corresponding sides proportional?
- Calculate the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides.
- If the ratios are equal for all corresponding sides, then the figures are similar.
- If the ratios are not equal for at least one pair of corresponding sides, the figures are not similar.
