What to Focus On
- Similar figures have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.
- For similar polygons, corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are proportional.
- The scale factor is the ratio of corresponding sides.
- Triangle similarity depends on equal corresponding angles and proportional corresponding sides.
- The scale factor K compares corresponding sides of similar triangles.
- Indirect measurement is a major application of similarity.
- BPT: a line parallel to one side divides the other two sides in the same ratio.
- Converse of BPT: equal ratios on two sides imply the line is parallel to the third side.
- BPT is also called Thales Theorem.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
If two triangles have equal angles, they must also have equal sides.
For triangle similarity, both equal angles and proportional sides must always be checked separately.
A square and a rectangle are similar because all their angles are 90°.
Memory Tips

Similarity of polygons needs two conditions
