Definition

corresponding angles A) the constant by which a figure (or the dimensions of a figure) increases or decreases

scale factor B) corresponding sides of two similar triangles

proportional C) figures that have congruent angles and corresponding sides that are proportional to one another

similar polygons D) these corresponding parts are congruent, given two similar triangles

scale drawing E) a depiction of a real object with accurate sizes except they have all been reduced or enlarged

Part 1. Corresponding angles

= (e). Corresponding sides of two similar triangles.

Remember - The angles in matching corners are called Corresponding Angles.

Part 2. Scale factor

= (d). the constant by which a figure (or the dimensions of a figure) increases or decreases.

Part 3. Proportional

= (c). these corresponding parts are congruent, given two similar triangles.

Part 4. Similar polygons

= (a). figures that have congruent angles and corresponding sides that are proportional to one another.

Part 5. Scale drawing.

= (b). a depiction of a real object with accurate sizes except they have all been reduced or enlarged.
