How are the perimeters of two similar figures related?
they are related when you can multiply or divide them together and get a whole number
What is the relationship between perimeters and areas of similar figures?
Whatever the ratio of perimeters of the similar figures, the areas will be in the ratios squared. Examples: * if the figures have perimeters in a ratio of 1:2, their areas will have a ratio of 1²:2² = 1:4. * If the figures have perimeters in a ratio of 2:3, their areas will have a ratio of 2²:3² = 4:9.
What figures have perimeters?
All polygons
What does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the perimeters?
if you add up all the sides but in a smart way
How do changes in dimensions of similar geometric figures affect the perimeters and areas of the figure?
First you have to go on stop being a fat kid
Is it true that the greater the perimeter the greater the area?
No, in general that is not true. For two similar figures it is true. But you can easily design two different figures that have the same perimeters and different areas, or the same area and different perimeters. For example, two rectangles with a different length-to-width ratio.
What does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the given measurement perimeters?
Perimeter will scale by the same factor. Area of the new figure, however is the original figures area multiplied by the scale factor squared. .
If the ratio of the side lengths of two similar polygons is 31 what is the ratio of the perimeters?
Their perimeters are in the same ratio.
What is important about the angles of similar figures?
when it comes to similar figures or angles you must know that they are the same shape but not the same size.
What is the similarity ratio of the perimeters of 25ft and 20ft?
The ratio of 25-ft to 20-ft is 5/4 or 1.25 .But ... knowing the perimeters alone is not enough informationto guarantee that the two figures are similar.-- They could be two rectangles, one measuring 25-ft by 1-ft, the other measuring 4-ft by 5-ft.Those are not similar rectangles.-- They could even be one rectangle and one triangle ... definitely not similar.
Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
How do you know if two figures are similar or congruent?
congruent figures are the same shape and the same size while similar figures are the same shape but different sizes and it doesn't matter which way the shape is facing
