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)they need to have a similair scale factor for parallelograms to be similair.





2)you find the scale factor and and then you can multiplie it or divide it to get the side lengths.





3)the other side would be 10 beause the SF is 2.5 2.5x4=10

For this 10 point assignment - answer the following questions in COMPLETE sentences and use examples to help support your answer. You could copy and paste these questions onto your blog if you need to and then type your answers in different colors. Write me a comment on this assignment when you finish! :)1) Think back to Mug Wump - how did you decide which characters were similar to him? How did you decided which characters were NOT similar to him?3) If I used (x, y) to create Mug and I used (4x, 4y) to create a new character, Pug, how would Pug be similar to Mug? What is the scale factor from Mug to Pug? How many Mugs would fit into one Pug (area)?

1)All the Angles were the same and there side lengths were the same -The angles are not the same.

1) Pug would be similair because he is 4x bigger.

Second assignment - There is a method to my madness! :) Write about why you think I am having you blog in math class - How will it help you? Will it help you? What is the point??? (a 7th grader's favorite question...)

I think it is a good idea to blog I think it will help us learn to type better and it will make things more interesting. I know it will help me learn better and faster.

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.2) Compare the angles of the original to the new paper.3) Compare the area of the new paper to the area of the original.

1)the new side lengths are 4 and 5. 2)The angles are the same. 3)new-20
