How to show your work on the homework: EXPLAIN WHY FIGURES ARE SIMILAR USING WORDS OR PROPORTIONS
In general, you want to look at the angle measures first. If the corresponding angle measures are equivalent, then you need to compare the corresponding sides. If the corresponding sides are proportional, then the figures are similar.
If you see that the angle measures are not equivalent, then you don't need to even look at the sides because the figures are automatically NOT SIMILAR.

"Now Hear This!"
1. Why did the average U.S. citizen’s Ecological Footprint sound so much louder?
“Although the average person living in sub-Saharan Africa may have a smaller impact, he or she does not have enough resources to survive. On the other hand, if everyone on the planet were to use the same amount of resources as the average U.S. citizen, we would need 4 more planet Earths to support all of us!!!”
2. What are some ways to bring the 2 Footprints in the activity to a closer balance?
3. What are some ways to reduce your personal Ecological Footprints?
Every Drop Counts
1. Given that there is a fixed amount of fresh water on the planet, what will happen to the distribution of water resources as global population grows?
2. What happens when people do not have enough water to meet their basic needs?
3. What happens when a fresh water resources is polluted? Why is it important to protect fresh water resources from pollution?
4. What are some other purposes/uses of fresh water aside from human consumption?
5. How can we reduce our personal water use?
