1) What has to be the same in order for two parallelograms to be similar?2) Describe a way to find a missing side length in a pair of similar figures.3) I have a small isosceles triangle with a base of 3 inches and other sides are 4 inches.I want to create a similar isosceles triangle with a base of 7.5 inches.What should the other side lengths be and why?

1) For two parallelograms to be similar the angle measures need to be in the same order

2) To find a missing side lenghth in a pair if two similar figures you can multiply or divide a corosponding side by the scale factor and you will have the answer

3) The other sides should be 10 inches because if you divide 3 by 7.5 you get the scale factor of .4

1) Think back to Mug Wump - how did you decide which characters were similar to him? How did you decide which characters were NOT similar to him?3) If I used (x, y) to create Mug and I used (4x, 4y) to create a new character, Pug, how would Pug be similar to Mug? What is the scale factor from Mug to Pug? How many Mugs would fit into one Pug (area)?





1) To decide which characters where similar to mug I decided which characters mug had a similar size to mug, I did this by using scale factor. I found out which characters where similar to him by seeing if there was an even patern in the graphing.





2) If you used (4x, 4y) pug would be similar to mug because he just increaced his size. The scale factor would be x4. I think 16 mugs would fit into pug becuase the area is scale factor x scale factor.

Let's say that my original paper is 8 inches by 10 inches. I type in 50% to the copier to reduce the paper. Using the math reflection rubric I handed out this year, answer the following questions on your blog (1 bonus point for answering in paragraph form instead of question/answer form):1) Compare the oringinal paper's side lengths to the new paper's side lengths.2) Compare the angles of the original to the new paper.3) Compare the area of the new paper to the area of the original.

1)The reduced side lengths are half of the original

2) The angle measures stay the same

3) The original is 4 times larger than the reduced paper
