What does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the side lengths?
It tells you how many times the side length will grow or shrink.
HOW do you find the similar ratio of a triangle?
Divide the length of a side of one triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle.
How do you find the missing side length in a pair of similar parallelograms?

Explain why similar figures are not always congruent?
similar figures have the same angles but not necessarily the same side lengths
Show how to find scale factor of a small triangle to a larger similar triangle?
The ratio of the length of the side in the big triangle to the length of the corresponding side in the little triangle is the scale factor.
Describe at least two ways of finding a missing side length in a pair of similar figures?
You would look at the side lengths and the scale factor to find a pair of similar figures :)
If two figures are similar what is the scale factor?
The scale factor will depend on the side lengths. (Angle measures of the figures will be identical.) For example, if the smaller side had a length of 5 and the larger side had a length of 10 the ratio of the two figures would be 1:2.
What are the relationship between the area scale factor and the side length scale factor of similar figures?
The area scale factor is the square of the side length scale factor.
Two similar figures have sides in the ratio of 2 3 If a side of the smaller triangle has a length of 7 what is the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle?
10 1/2

What does it mean for two figures to be similar?
When two figures are similar it means that its the same size and length and that they both have same features in other words it means that its congruent.Simply put :they have the same shape, same angles and proportional side lengths.
How are corresponding side lengths two similar figures related?
Corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.
How do you find the missing side lengths of similar figures?
You need to know the proportionality constant, or ratio of the two figures. Suppose two corresponding sides have lengths of 10cm and 25cm, then the ratio is 25/10 = 2.5. If another side of the first figure is 6cm long, then multiply it by 2.5 to find the length of the corresponding side: 6cm x 2.5 = 15cm. If one side of the second figure is 30cm long, then divide it by 2.5 to get the length of the corresponding side in the first figure: 30cm / 2.5 = 12cm.
