Question | Answer |
---|---|
congruent angles | angles that have the same measure |
conversion factor | rates equal to 1 |
cross products | two ratios are found by multiplying the denominator of one ratio by the numerator of the other ratio |
dilation | is a transformation where the original figure and its image are similar |
enlargement | a dilation with a scale factor greater than 1 |
indirect measurement | uses proportions and similar triangles to measure distances that would be difficult to measure directly |
proportion | is an equation stating that two ratios are equal |
rate | is a ratio that compares two quantities measured in different units |
reduction | a dilation with a scale factor less than 1 |
scale | is the ratio that compares a length in a drawing to the corresponding length in the actual object |
scale factor | the ratio of the dimensions of the image to the dimensions of the original figure |
scale model | is an enlarged or reduced model of an object that is similar to the actual object |
similar figures | have the same shape but not necessarily the same size |
similar polygons | if the corresponding angles of two polygons have the same measure and the lengths of their corresponding sides are proportional |
unit rate | the rate for one unit of a given quantity |
