Identifying Similar Figures

Introduction

Have you ever enlarged a photo on your phone or seen a map that shows a smaller version of a real place? These are examples of similar figures. Similar figures have the same shape but may differ in size. Learning ho...

Maria participates in a math challenge in which her task is to identify whether triangles ABC and JKL are similar.

She begins by identifying the coordinates of each vertex on the grid.

△ABC has vertices at A(0, 3), B(3, 3), and C(3, 0), while △JKL has vertices at J(0, 6), K(6, 6), and L(6, 0).

By comparing ...
