Exercise 39 Page 874

Similar solids have the same shape and all of their corresponding dimensions are proportional. The ratio of corresponding linear dimensions of two similar solids is the scale factor. If the scale factor is 1:1 they are also congruent.

Congruent

Practice makes perfect

Let's see whether the corresponding linear dimensions are proportional.

5/5? =3/3

QuotOne

a/a=1

1=1

The ratios of the corresponding measures are equal, so the cylinders are similar. The scale factor is 1:1, so the solids are congruent.
