𝟗 𝟏𝟖 𝟐𝒄 𝟏𝟐 ratios ________.

𝒄=𝟔 𝒄=𝟑 True

𝒄=𝟒 𝟐𝒄 = 𝟏 Equal Equal

The similar The corresponding The corresponding

𝟑 𝒄
If = 𝟔 ,then 𝟐𝒄 is: angles of the similar sides of the similar
figures have: 𝟐
figures are: shapes are:
Same shape but
different size
𝟐𝒄 = 𝟏𝟖 Zero

Different shape 𝟏 𝒂𝒄 = 𝒃𝒅 Proportional

𝟐𝒄 =
but same size 𝟐
𝒂 𝒄
The ratio 𝟎. 𝟑: 𝟏. 𝟐 𝟏 𝒃 If 𝒃
= 𝒅 , then
simplified is: =
𝒂 𝒄

𝟏: 𝟒 𝒂+𝒅 =𝒄+𝒅 𝒂𝒅 = 𝒄𝒅
