The pair of figures are similar. Find the missing side.

• x = 9

• x = 28

• x = 7

• x = 63

The pair of figures is similar. Find the missing side.

• x = 12

• x = 33

• x = 40

• x = 4

These triangles are similar. Find missing side...

• 5

• 7

• 9

• 11

Are the triangles similar?

• Yes

• No

Are the following similar? Why or why not?

• Yes, because the corresponding angles are congruent.

• No, the numbers are even

• No, the sides are 2 times larger, but the width is the same.

Find the missing side of the large triangle, then, find the PERIMETER of the large triangle.

• the missing side is 12, the perimeter is 24

• the missing side is 12, the perimeter is 36
