Similar polygons can be represented using a similar statement with the ~ symbol meaning similar. The order of the figures in the statement is important. A similar statement includes writing the corresponding angles of the similar figures that are equal, such as ABC~QMG, where the angles A and Q are equal, angles B and M are equal, and angles C and G are equal. Similar figures can be written in either order of the figures in the similar statement, such as ABCD~EZHF or EZHF~ABCD.

The unmarked angles, C and G line up because they are equal since the first two angles of the
first figure are equal to the first two angles of the second figure.
