Question

lesson 4 | session 2
ms. romano draws figures a and a on the board.
a. are figures a and a similar? explain.
yes they are the same shape

Explanation:

Step1: Recall similarity criteria

Two figures are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and the ratios of their corresponding side - lengths are equal.

Step2: Analyze the figures

From the grid, we can see that the two figures have the same shape. The angles of the two figures are right - angled at the corners and the ratios of the lengths of the corresponding sides are equal (since the figures are just in different positions on the grid and have the same overall shape).

Answer:

Yes, they are the same shape, so figures A and A' are similar.
