Worked practice questions

Two figures are said to be similar if they have

  1. The same shape but not necessarily the same size
  2. The same shape and the same size always
  3. Different shapes but the same area
  4. Equal angles but different ratios of sides
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. The same shape but not necessarily the same size

1. Definition: similar figures have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. 2. Congruent figures are similar but the converse is not always true. 3. Hence the correct option says "same shape, not necessarily same size". _Source: syllabus Mathematics, Ch 6 "Triangles", §6.2_

In two similar triangles, the ratio of corresponding sides is called

  1. The scale factor
  2. The congruence factor
  3. The midsegment ratio
  4. The proportional constant
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. The scale factor

1. Similar polygons have proportional corresponding sides. 2. syllabus names this common ratio the scale factor (or representative fraction). 3. Hence option A. _Source: syllabus Mathematics, Ch 6 "Triangles", §6.3_

In triangle PQR, S and T are points on PQ and PR respectively. ST is parallel to QR. If PS = 3, SQ = 6 and PT = 4, then PR equals

  1. 8
  2. 10
  3. 14
  4. 12
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. 12

1. By BPT, PS/SQ = PT/TR. So 3/6 = 4/TR, giving TR = 8. 2. PR = PT + TR = 4 + 8. 3. Hence PR = 12. _Source: syllabus Mathematics, Ch 6 "Triangles", §6.3_
