Figures with the same shape are considered similar. When they are similar there ratios of lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. There are many examples of similar figures in real world. For example, one of them is the big baseball bat in downtown Louisville. That big bat and normal size bat are similar figures because their ratios of lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. Similar figures concept can help in real life by measuring the height of something tall with help of measuring tape and smaller size of the same object and their shadows.
