This is for a summative grade worth 12 points (3 points each question).Sometimes when I make copies of worksheets for you, I reduce the the original to waste less paper! (one small thing to help save our planet! :) http://www.ourearth.org/Let's say that my original paper is 8 inches by 10 inches. I type in 50% to the copier to reduce the paper. Using the math reflection rubric I handed out this year, answer the following questions on your blog (1 bonus point for answering in paragraph form instead of question/answer form):

1) Compare the oringinal paper's side lengths to the new paper's side lengths.
8by 10 and 4by5
2) Compare the angles of the original to the new paper.
they stayed the same
3) Compare the area of the new paper to the area of the original
the area went up by 80 in







Answer the following questions on YOUR blog as a post. Use the same title as mine for your post. Write your answers in complete sentences! An easy way to do this is to copy and paste the questions below onto your post and then put your answers in a different color!1) What has to be the same in order for two parallelograms to be similar?2) Describe a way to find a missing side length in a pair of similar figures.3) I have a small isosceles triangle with a base of 3 inches and other sides are 4 inches.I want to create a similar isosceles triangle with a base of 7.5 inches.What should the other side lengths be and why?


1 for to parrallelograms to be the same they have to have the same angles and ratios

2 you have to find sf and the ratio to find the side lengths

3the thing you do is find the sf then look at the ratio of the smaller trangle to the bigger trangle
