Look at SLIDE 6 and answer the question..
Lines EF and BC must be parallel.
200
Describe the similarities and differences between a ratio and a proportion.
Both include ratios (fractions) Ratio is only one, proportion is two ratios equal to each other.

For two figures to be similar, the side lengths must be ____________ and the angles must be _______________.
sides must be proportional, angles must be congruent

By just looking at the scale factor, how can you tell if the dilation is going to make a bigger or smaller figure?
Scale factor larger than 1 = bigger Scale factor between 0 and 1 = smaller
