7-4 Similar Figures
Matching sides of two or more polygons are called
corresponding sides, and matching angles are called
corresponding angles.

7-4 Similar Figures
Similar figures have the same shape but not
necessarily the same size.
Similar Figures
Two figures are similar if
• the measures of the corresponding angles are equal
• the ratios of the lengths of the corresponding sides
t are proportional

Understand the Problem
The answer will be the width of the actual painting.
List the important information:
• The actual painting and the reduction above are
t similar.
• The reduced painting is 2 cm tall and 3 cm wide.
• The actual painting is 54 cm tall.

Estimate to check your answer. The ratio of
the heights is about 2:50 or 1:25. The ratio
of the widths is about 3:90, or 1:30. Since
these ratios are close to each other, 81 cm
is a reasonable answer.
