Attributes of Similar Shapes

T.i.P.S.

Students should use their previous knowledge about two-dimensional shapes and their attributes from previous grade levels to identify corresponding sides and corresponding congruent angles of similar figures. Students should be able to express the relationships between the lengths of corresponding sides of similar figures using proportions.

Example

Write 3 true statements about the following similarity statement, ΔCAT ~ ΔDOG
