6.3 Notes

The document defines similar polygons as polygons where corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding lengths are proportional. It states that the scale factor is the ratio of lengths of corresponding sides in similar polygons. It also presents the theorem that the ratio of perimeters of similar polygons equals the ratios of corresponding side lengths. Finally, it notes that if two figures are congruent, then they are similar, and if two figures are similar, then the ratio of corresponding sides is the scale factor.
