# Lesson 2

Corresponding Parts and Scale Factors

### Problem 1

The second H-shaped polygon is a scaled copy of the first.

1. Show one pair of corresponding points and two pairs of corresponding sides in the original polygon and its copy. Consider using colored pencils to highlight corresponding parts or labeling some of the vertices.

2. What scale factor takes the original polygon to its smaller copy? Explain or show your reasoning.
