Kendall Hunt Geometry Unit 3 Review

Front

What does it mean for two triangles to be similar?

Back

Two triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Front

If a line divides two sides of a triangle proportionally, what can we conclude about the line?

Back

The line must be parallel to the third side of the triangle.

Front

What is the relationship between similar parallelograms?

Back

Similar parallelograms have corresponding angles that are equal and corresponding sides that are in proportion.

Front

How can you determine if two lines are parallel using triangle dilation?

Back

If triangle ABC is a dilation of triangle ADE, then line BC is parallel to line DE.

Front

What is the condition for rectangles to be considered similar?

Back

Rectangles are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Front

What is a dilation in geometry?

Back

A dilation is a transformation that alters the size of a figure but maintains its shape.

Front

What is the scale factor in a dilation?

Back

The scale factor is the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides of the original figure to the dilated figure.

Front

Can two shapes be similar if they have different sizes?

Back

Yes, two shapes can be similar even if they are different sizes, as long as their corresponding angles are equal and their sides are proportional.

Front

What is the significance of corresponding angles in similar triangles?

Back

Corresponding angles in similar triangles are equal, which is a key criterion for determining similarity.

Front

What does it mean for two shapes to be not similar?

Back

Two shapes are not similar if their corresponding angles are not equal or their corresponding sides are not in proportion.
