Homothetic Position


Two similar figures with parallel homologous lines and connectors of homologous points concurrent at the homothetic center are said to be in homothetic position. If two similar figures are in the same plane but the corresponding sides are not parallel, there exists a self-homologous point which occupies the same homologous position with respect to the two figures.
