How do you solve your math problems dealing with similar figures?
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
What is it called when 2 figures have the same shape but are different sizes?
Its called SIMALUR * * * * * SIMILAR
Why all congruent figures are similar but not all similar figures are congruent?
Take the triangle for instance, there are 3 types. One is the same on each side which is the equilateral. But the other 2 types are flat on 2 sides and diagonal on the other side.
Which figures are similar?
figures 1 and 2
How many sides does a figure have?
2 dimensional (plane) figures can have three or more straight edges as sides. 3 dimensional (solid) figures can have four or more plane sides (faces). They can have fewer sides if the sides are not straight.

When 2 sides meet what is the point called?
Intersection point in lines & in figures' sides it's called vertex.

What does it mean when 2 geometric figures are similar?
It means that the sides of one are directly proportional to the corresponding sides of the other. That all the corresponding angles are equal.

figures 1 and 2
There are two rectangles what are the ratio of the first to the second?
I guess you mean the ratio of the areas; it depends if the 2 rectangles are "similar figures"; that is their matching sides are in the same ratio. If they are similar then the ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of the sides.
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
How many sides does a figure have?
2 dimensional (plane) figures can have three or more straight edges as sides. 3 dimensional (solid) figures can have four or more plane sides (faces). They can have fewer sides if the sides are not straight.
Are some rectangles similar?
no some rectangles cannot be similar. a rectangle is a shape with 2 = sides and then 2 more different = sides. it is impossible because if 2 rectangles were similar than that would not be a rectangle. similar means having corresponding sides no it is not possible
What figures have 2 pairs of perpendicular sides?
you sure you don't mean parallelogram which has 2 pairs of parallel sides? This is too vague?
Are there any three dimensional figures that have 2 edges?
Edges or sides? There are 3D figures with one side and one edge.
