Question

If two polygons are SIMILAR, then the corresponding sides must be and the corresponding angles must be .

Answer 1

Their sides must be in the same ratio and their angles must be equal.

Explanation:

If two polygons are similar their sides must be in the same ratio and their angles must be equal.

e. g. -

If ABCDEF and GHIJKL be the two polygons,

then,

`(AB)/(GH) = (BC)/(HI) = (CD)/(IJ) = \frac {DE}{JK} = \frac {EF}{KL} = (FA)/(LG)`

and,

∠ABC = ∠GHI ; ∠BCD =∠HIJ ; ∠CDE = ∠IJK ; ∠DEF =∠JKL ; ∠EFA =∠KLG;

∠FAB = ∠LGH .
