7-2 Ratios in Similar Polygons - GEOMETRY

The video tutorial introduces the concept of similarity in geometry, focusing on similar polygons. It explains how similar shapes have equal angles and proportional sides, using examples like 'mini-me' and 'Dr. Evil' to illustrate the idea. The tutorial covers how to match angles and sides, create similarity statements, and calculate similarity ratios. It also includes problem-solving exercises to reinforce understanding.
