What does it mean to have similar polygons?
it means that the polygons are similar not exact
What polygons are always similar?
Regular polygons.
Are the polygons similar?
yes
Does similar polygons always have the same area?
no. similar polygons do not have the same area. similar just means that they have the same angle measurements and are proportional.
Can two similar polygons be congruent polygons?
Yes. The polygons must be congruent. They must have an even number of sides and angles. -alessandra
Do two polygons which are similar have the same shape?
Similar polygons are polygons for which all corresponding angles are congruent and all corresponding sides are proportional. From this definition we can say they have the same shape.
What does it mean to have similar polygons?

What polygons are always similar?
Regular polygons.
Which polygons are not similar?
Any two polygons with a different number of sides are not similar.
Are these polygons similar?
these polygons arent similar one is turned sideways... * * * * * Don't know which polygons but turning sideways does not affect similarity
What is the definition of similar figures?
Similar figures are polygons with the same shape but a different size. eg: 5cm square compared to a 10cm square = similar figures. Same shape but different size.
Two polygons with same shape not size?
The polygons are said to be similar.
Are the polygons similar?
yes
Does similar polygons always have the same area?
no. similar polygons do not have the same area. similar just means that they have the same angle measurements and are proportional.
What determines if two polygons are congruent?
similar polygons may not be congruent (different sizes) congruent polygons are always similar (equal in every geometric respect - including
The corresponding sides of two similar regular polygons must have equal lenghts?
Yes, the corresponding sides of two similar regular polygons must have equal lengths. This is because both the polygons are similar, which means that since they are also polygons, they must have equal lengths.
What is the definition of corresponding sides?
n. in congruent polygons, the pairs of sides which can be superimposed on one another. In similar polygons, the ratio of the length of a side on the larger polygon to the length of its corresponding side on the smaller polygon is the same for all the sides.
