Similarity (geometry) objects similar if one appears congruent to the other when zoomed in or out at some level. For example, all circles are similar to each other, all squares are similar to each other, and all equilateral triangles are similar to each other. On the other hand, ellipses are not all similar to each other, rectangles are not all similar to each other, and isosceles triangles are not all similar to each other. If two angles of a triangle have measures equal to the measures of two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. Corresponding sides of similar polygons
Rectification (geometry) 2r{p,q...}. For polyhedra, a birectification creates a dual polyhedron. Higher degree rectifications can be constructed for higher dimensional polytopes. In general an n-rectification truncates "n-faces" to points. If an n-polytope is (n-1)-rectified, its facets are reduced to points and the polytope becomes its dual. There are different equivalent notations for each degree of rectification. These tables show the names by dimension and the two type of facets for each. Facets are edges, represented as {2}. Facets are regular polygons. Facets are regular or rectified polyhedra. Facets are regular or rectified 4-polytopes.
