  1. Similar Polygons Section 11-1

  2. You know that figures that have the same shape and size are CONGRUENT figures. • Figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size are SIMILAR figures. Congruent Polygons Similar Polygons

  3. Are all rectangles similar? • They have common characteristics, but they are not similar. • You can not enlarge or reduce a given rectangle to fit over every other rectangle. • What do you think about other types of geometric figures such as squares, circles, and triangles?

  4. What Makes Polygons Similar?

  5. Did you need both conditions?

  6. Dilations on a Coordinate Plane
