How to do similar shapes.

Two figures that have the same shape are said to be similar. When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles below are similar, compare their corresponding sides.

Similar shapes are just shapes that have the same proportions and relative size. For example, a square that's 4 x 4 and a square that's 2 x 2. Although one's smaller, they are both the similar shapes.
