Similar Polygons



















These two books (quadrilaterals) appear similar because their sides seem to be proportional. To verify, I measured the lengths: the larger book is 10 in x 6 in, and the smaller book is 6.5 in x 4 in. But 10:6 is NOT equal to 6.5:4, so in fact they aren't similar, as the sides are not proportional. (~KR2)
