SIMILARITY OF FIGURES

Name of Learner: ________________________________ Score: ___________

Learning Area: MATHEMATICS 9 Section: ____________ Date: ___________

INTRODUCTION
Polygons are similar if their vertices can be paired so that corresponding
angles are CONGRUENT, and corresponding sides are PROPORTIONAL.
Proportional sides are equal to a scale factor (k) and curved marks can be used to
indicate proportionality of corresponding sides. In this learning activity, you will learn
about similarity of figures.

LEARNING COMPETENCY
The learner illustrates similarity of figures. (M9GE-IIIg-1)
