Similar Polygons
Corresponding Angles are congruent. Corresponding Sides are proportional. Use the symbol “~” for similar.
To show that two polygons are similar, you must prove both things: angles congruent, sides proportional.

Scale Factor
If two polygons are similar, the ratio of two corresponding sides is called the scale factor.
April 21, 2023 Geometry 8.3 Similar Polygons 12
Scale Factor
The scale factor of JKL to QSR is 10/5 or 2/1.
The scale factor of QSR to JKL is 5/10 or 1/2.

Summary
Two polygons are similar if they have the same shape, but a different size.
If polygons are similar corresponding angles are congruent, and corresponding sides are proportional.
The ratio of any two corresponding sides is the scale factor.
The ratio of the perimeters is equal to the ratio of two corresponding sides.
