The document discusses similarity of polygons and proportionality. It defines that two angles are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are proportional. The symbol for "is similar to" is ~. Examples of similar polygons are provided. The document also discusses the basic proportionality theorem which states that if a line intersects two sides of a triangle and is parallel to the third side, then it divides the first two sides proportionally. Additional examples applying the proportionality theorem to find missing side lengths are given.

9 Basic Proportionality Theorem
If a line intersects two sides of a triangle and is
parallel to the third side, then it divides the first two sides proportionally.

20 11 Theorem
If three or more parallel lines are cut by two or
more transversals, then the segments cut off along the transversals are proportional.
