What is a three sided polygons with the same shape but not the same size are called?

Three sided polygons would be triangles. Triangles that have the same shape (same angle measures) but are different sizes (different side lengths) would be called similar triangles. In similar triangles, corresponding sides have lengths in the same ratio. If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, then: AB/DE = BC/EF = AC/DF.

How do you find the dimensions of a figure if you know the dimensions of a similar figure?

If two objects have the same shape, they are called "similar." When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles shown are similar, compare their corresponding sides.


What is the difference between scale factor and scale ratio?

if two polygons are similar, then the ratio of the length of 2 corresponding sides is called a scale factor


What shapes have all equal side lengths?

They are called regular polygons


Are polygons with all right angles sometimes squares?

Yes, those polygons which have angles of 90 degrees and equal side lengths are called squares; those with uneven side lengths are called rectangles.


What are the corresponding sides called in similar triangles whose corresponding angles are congruent?

Proportional.


A figure that has congruent corresponding angles and proportional sides are called?

Similar.


What is polygon with all sides the same lengths and all angles the same measure?

A square is a polygon with equal sides and angles. Polygons with all sides the same lengths and all angles the same are Regular Polygons. Squares are one example of many, picture a stop sign. Such a figure is called a regular polygon


What are Autosomal chromosomes that carry corresponding traits and are similar in structure called?

Homologous


The corresponding side lengths of similar triangles are related through multiplication by the factor?

The sum of the squares of the two smaller sides (the two sides adjoining the right angle) is equal to the square of the longest side - which is called the hypotenuse. This result is Pythagoras's Theorem.
