02 2-2 Definition of the similarity of two polygons

  • Two polygons are similar when both conditions hold: (1) corresponding angles are equal in measure, and (2) corresponding sides are proportional.
  • One condition alone is not enough: a rectangle and a square have equal angles but are not similar; a rhombus and a square have proportional sides but are not similar.
  • When the correspondence of vertices is written, name the polygons in matching order, e.g. ABCD ~ PQRS means A↔P, B↔Q …

Polygons that are always similar

  • Any two regular polygons with the same number of sides are similar, because a regular polygon is equilateral and equiangular.
  • Any two circles are similar. Two rectangles or two rhombi are not necessarily similar.
