MATH - Lesson 18. Polygons. Review the information given in the lesson - including the names of polygons and the meanings of the various vocabulary introduced. Remember that "similar" means the figures are the SAME SHAPE and "congruent" means the figures are the SAME SHAPE AND SIZE. On similar shapes, you will have corresponding parts - angles and sides. Think about how the shapes would fit on top of each other if they were rotated or flipped. Then find the corresponding parts.
