you are here 4 77
similarity and congruence
Just try drawing a square which
doesn’t have four angles all 90º
and all sides the same ratio: 1/1.
You sketch it—we’ll etch it (to fit)
Liz is a very patient customer, she’s hung around while you used
similarity and proportionality to resize the design to fit perfectly
on her new replacement phone. It does look good though!
I love it, thanks!
