Can you describe a situation for which you may need to
make a model of something that is very large or very
small?
Some scenes in the movie use models that
represents large or small creatures or objects.

Idea of Similarity
The idea of similarity is different from congruence
because congruent images must be the same size and
shape wile similar shapes only need to have same shape.

Example Explain whether the triangles are
: similar.
The triangles are not similar, because only one angle is congruent.
The angle measure of the first triangle are 70°, 58°, and 52°. The
angle measure of the second triangle are 70°, 61°, and 49°.

Explain whether the triangles are similar. Label the angle measures in the
figure.
Finding Missing Measures in Similar Triangles
Because corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are
proportional in similar triangles, you can use similar triangles to solve real-world
problems.
