Copy of Similar Polygons Activity

(1) Use the diagram to sketch two similar quadrilaterals in your notes.[br](2) Label the angle measures of the corresponding angles of your polygons.[br](3) Give the scale factor that you chose (using the slider) between your polygons.[br](4) Write a proportion comparing one pair of corresponding side lengths of your polygons. Then cross multiply to verify that ratios are equivalent.[br](5) Write a ratio comparing the perimeter of the polygon on the right to the perimeter of the polygon on the left. Use a calculator to simplify this ratio. What did you notice?[br][br]Change the polygon on the right (by dragging one or more of its vertices) and repeat questions 1-5 for these new polygons.
