Intuitively, does it make sense that all circles are similar? Why or why not?

Answer with explanation:

Yes, each point on a circle is a fixed distance from the center of the circle. This is called the radius of the circle. By definition, all radii of a circle are equal.

Similar polygons have corresponding sides in similar proportion. Regardless of how large a circle is, each point on the circle will still be a fixed distance away from center of the circle. Therefore, the radii are in a constant proportional and all circles are similar.
