Question

How are corresponding side lengths of two similar figures related?

Answer 1

If two objects have the same shape, they are similar. If they are similar, the ratios of side lengths are equal. If the base of a rectangle was 22 feet and it was dilated by 2, the base would be 44 feet. The angle measures however, stay the same, or the two figures would not be similar.
