The purpose of this lesson is to recognize and draw similar polygons, then use their properties to solve problems.
Included is a YouTube video to support Grade 9 Blended Learning Math - Unit 7.3: Similarity and Transformations - Similar Polygons.
This module brings together the ideas of similarity and congruence and the properties of length, area, and geometric constructions studied throughout the year. It also includes the specific properties of triangles, special quadrilaterals, parallel lines and transversals, and rigid motions established and built upon throughout this mathematical story. This module's focus is on the possible geometric relationships between a pair of intersecting lines and a circle drawn on the page.

In Module 3, students learn about dilation and similarity and apply that knowledge to a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem based on the Angle-Angle criterion for similar triangles. The module begins with the definition of dilation, properties of dilations, and compositions of dilations. One overarching goal of this module is to replace the common idea of same shape, different sizes with a definition of similarity that can be applied to geometric shapes that are not polygons, such as ellipses and circles.

Este módulo reúne las ideas de similitud y congruencia y las propiedades de la longitud, el área y las construcciones geométricas estudiadas durante todo el año. También incluye las propiedades específicas de los triángulos, cuadriláteros especiales, líneas paralelas y transversales, y movimientos rígidos establecidos y construidos sobre esta historia matemática. El enfoque de este módulo está en las posibles relaciones geométricas entre un par de líneas de intersección y un círculo dibujado en la página.
