  1. Section 11-3 Perimeters and Areas of Similar Figures

  2. Recall: • Two polygons are similar iff corresponding angles are congruent and the lengths of corresponding sides are proportional. • The ratio of the lengths of two corresponding sides of two similar polygons is called the scale factor.

  3. Recall: • The ratio of the perimeters of two similar polygons is the same as the scale factor.

  4. Areas of Similar Polygons Theorem • If two polygons are similar with the lengths of corresponding sides in the ratio , then the ratio of their areas is .

  5. If you are given the ratio of the areas, take the square root of each to find the scale factor or ratio of perimeters.

  6. always, sometimes, or never? • Two similar quadrilaterals have the same perimeter. • Two squares with the same perimeter are similar. • Two regular hexagons are similar. Sometimes Always Always

  7. always, sometimes, or never? • Two right triangles with the same area are similar. • Two similar pentagons have the same perimeter. • Two rectangles with the same area are similar. Sometimes Sometimes Sometimes

  8. always, sometimes, or never? • Two regular decagons are similar. • Two regular polygons are similar. Always Sometimes
