1. Which of the following is not a characteristic of similar figures?

A. Proportional sides
B. Equal angle measurements
C. Same shape
D. Congruent side lengths

   D. Congruent side lengths   

2. Are the figures below similar? Explain.

two shapes
   The figures are not similar. They are not the same shape. One is a square and the other is a rectangle.    

3. Explain why figures A and B are similar.

   These figures are similar because the sides are proportional. Figure A is three times greater than figure B.   

4. Which of the figures is similar to the one below?

a diamond

   C    

 four random shapes

5. If the figures below are proportional, what is true about the angles of the smaller figure?
two similar triangles

   The angles are 60° because the triangles are similar. The triangles are similar because the sides are proportional and they are the same figure (equilateral triangle).
