(iii) All __________ triangles are similar. (isosceles, equilateral)
(iv) Two polygons of the same number of sides are similar, if (a) their corresponding angles are __________ and (b) their corresponding sides are __________. (equal, proportional)
Solution and Explanation
(i) All circles are congruent in shape, hence similar.
(ii) All squares are congruent in shape, hence similar.
(iii) All equilateral triangles are similar.
(iv) For two polygons with the same number of sides to be similar, two conditions must be met: (a) their corresponding angles must be equal, and (b) their corresponding sides must be proportional.
