17.4.1 Sides Proportional, Angles Equal

Core idea

Under a magnifying glass the angles don't budge while every corresponding side is multiplied by the same scale factor k.

Module goal. Once we can test for similarity, we ask what it actually buys us: how corresponding segments, perimeter, and area change with the scale factor, so learners can both compute and apply.
