Any two corresponding sides in two similar figures have a common ratio called the scale factor.
Since the figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides of the figures are equal.
1. Match a side of both figures,
2. write the proportions
3. substitute the values
4. Write the cross product
5. Divide both sides by a common factor
6. simplify
7. Convert improper fraction into mixed number
