Matching Proportions to Similar Figures

Rectangle ABCD and rectangle EFGD are similar figures. Which of the following proportions is true for the figures?

Tell whether the two figures are similar. Explain your reasoning.

• Yes, similar because corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are in proportion.

• No, not similar because corresponding angles are congruent, but corresponding sides are NOT in proportion.

• Yes, same shape

• No, different sizes

Are the following similar?
Why or why not?

• Yes

• No, the corresponding angles are not equal.

• No, corresponding sides are NOT in proportion.

• i dont know

One corresponding set of sides are ​ (a)  

• AB and DE

• AB and EF

• B and D

• EF and DE

Solve for x.

• 2

• 15

• 50

• 65

In order for two polygons to be similar, what must be true about the sides and angles?

• All sides and angles are congruent

• All sides and angles are proportional

• Sides are congruent, Angles are proportional

• Sides and proportional, Angles are congruent
