Similar Figures Practice Problems - Page 1
This page presents six practice problems similar figures solutions with step-by-step calculations. Students learn to apply similarity relationships to find unknown values in various geometric figures.
Definition: Similar figures are shapes that have the same proportions and congruent angles, but may differ in size.
The problems cover a range of scenarios, including triangles, quadrilaterals, and complex shapes. Each question requires students to set up and solve equations based on the given similarity relationships.
Example: In problem 1, students must find the value of x in similar triangles QRS and TUV. The solution shows that x = 11 by setting up a proportion using corresponding sides.
Highlight: Problem 4 introduces the concept of scale factors in similar figures, where students must find the length of FE in triangles ABC and FGE.
The page also includes problems that require solving systems of equations, demonstrating the complexity and depth of similar figures practice answer key exercises.
Vocabulary: Scale factor - The ratio of corresponding sides in similar figures.
