“Similar Figures”
Similar Figures
Two figures are SIMILAR FIGURES if they have
the same shape but not necessarily the same
size. The symbol ~ indicates two figures are
similar.
Properties of similar figures:
1). Corresponding angles are congruent
2). Corresponding sides are proportional (equal ratios)
Corresponding angles –
matched angles of two figures
ABC ~ DEF
A D
C F
When 2 angles
have the same
measure, they are
marked with the
same symbol.

Congruent
Two line segments are
congruent when they are the
same length.

You can use tick marks to
indicate congruent line segments.
Congruent Figures
Two figures are CONGRUENT FIGURES if they
have the same shape AND the same size.
Properties of congruent figures:
1). Corresponding angles are congruent
2). Corresponding sides are congruent
Identifying Congruent Line Segments
Identify the line segments that are congruent
in the figure.
AB CD
One tick mark
AC BD
Two tick marks
BF DF EC AE Three tick
marks
Reading Math
The symbol means “is congruent to.”
Identifying Congruent Line Segments
Identify the line segments that are congruent
in the figure.
