Chapter 13 · Similar Figures and Scale Drawings

Standard 7.MG.2

In this chapter you will:

Words to know: similar · corresponding parts · congruent · scale factor · enlargement · reduction · similarity statement · proportion · scale drawing · scale

Two conditions, both required. Similar figures have corresponding angles that are congruent AND corresponding sides that are proportional. Checking only one of them is the most common mistake in this chapter.
