Corresponding Side Identifier
Determine corresponding sides of two similar polygons quickly and visually.
Input Vertices and Side Index
Enter the vertices for two similar polygons, listing them in order. For example, for a square, you might enter 'A,B,C,D'. If you want to visualize them, provide coordinates like '0,0, 1,0, 1,1, 0,1'.

Visualization
The red lines indicate the corresponding sides on both polygons. Ensure you have entered coordinate vertices for accurate visualization.
Understanding Corresponding Sides
In geometry, when two polygons are similar, their corresponding sides are sides that are in the same relative position in the two polygons. If you list the vertices of similar polygons in a consistent order, the corresponding sides are formed by vertices at the same positions in each list. For example, if polygon ABCD is similar to polygon EFGH, and the vertices are listed in order, then side AB corresponds to side EF, BC to FG, CD to GH, and DA to HE. This tool helps you quickly identify these corresponding sides by simply inputting the vertices in order and specifying the side index you're interested in. The visualization further clarifies this concept by highlighting the corresponding sides on drawn polygons.
