What are the Similarity Criteria? Exploring the Fundamentals of Shape Proportions in Geometry
For triangles, if two triangles are similar, then their corresponding angles are equal, and their corresponding sides are in proportion. Examples Practice Questions Triangle GHI has sides of lengths \(7 \text{ cm}\), \(24 \text{ cm}\), and \(25 \text{ cm}\). Triangle \(JKL\) has sides of lengths \(14 \text{ cm}\), \(48 \text{ cm}\), and \(50 \text{ cm}\). […]
How to Perform Similarity Transformations: Step-by-Step Guide
Center of Dilation: A fixed point in the plane. Scale Factor: The ratio by which a figure is enlarged or reduced. A scale factor greater than \(1\) results in an enlargement, while a scale factor between \(0\) and \(1\) results in a reduction. The formula for dilation from a center point \((x, y)\) with a […]
