1. Presentation / Introduction
In this lesson, you will learn that there are triangles and other polygons that have the same shape but not necessarily
the same size. The illustrative example below will give you an idea of how we can say that the given figures are similar.
If you observe, trapezoid ABCD and trapezoid EFGH have the same shape. When you pair the corresponding
vertices, the angles coincide. It shows that their corresponding angles are congruent: ∠A ≅∠E ; ∠B ≅ ∠F ; ∠C ≅ ∠G ;
and ∠D ≅ ∠H.
Another thing is that the ratios of the measure of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal.
EF 3 FG 5 GH 6 EH 4 1 1
Thus, in EFGH to ABCD, = = = = = = = = . Here, the scale factor k is . We could
AB 6 BC 10 CD 12 AD 8 2 2
AB 6 BC 10 CD 12 AD 8 2
also turn it around as ABCD to EFGH where = = = = = = = = = 2. Now here, the
EF 3 FG 5 GH 6 EH 4 1
scale factor k is 2.
Based on the illustrative example, two polygons are similar (the symbol is ∼) if their vertices can be paired so that
corresponding angles are congruent, and the lengths of their corresponding sides are proportional.
To indicate that trapezoid ABCD is similar to trapezoid EFGH, you can write ABCD ∼ EFGH. If you use this
notation, write the corresponding vertices on the same order.

Guide Example:
Assume the original rectangle has dimensions of 3 units by 1 unit.
Original Rectangle:
Length: 3 units
Width: 1 unit
Scaled Drawing:
1. Draw a rectangle on the graphing paper, keeping the proportions consistent with the scaled dimensions.
Remember to use a ruler for straight lines and to maintain accuracy in your scaled drawing. Adjust the
dimensions based on the scale factor, and you'll have a scaled representation of the original rectangle.

5. Generalization
Two polygons are similar if their vertices can be paired so that corresponding angles are congruent, and corresponding
sides are proportional.
The number that describes the ratio of two corresponding sides of similar polygons is referred to as the scale factor.

D. ASSIGNMENT
1. John painted a picture of her house on canvas. The actual width of the driveway is 30 ft. If it is represented
with a width of 6 inches on the canvas What was the scale factor used?
2. Dora stops at the gift store to buy a souvenir of the status of the library. The original height of status is 161 ft. If a
scale factor of 1 inch = 30 ft is used to design the souvenir. What is the height of replica?
