Perimeter will scale by the same factor. Area of the new figure, however is the original figures area multiplied by the scale factor squared.

What do you know about the perimeters of similar figures?

The areas are different.


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


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.

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.


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 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.

How do you solve the ratio perimeters of two smaller squares is 5 to 4 if the area of the smaller square is 32 square units what is the area of the larger square?

The area of similar figures is proportional to the square of any linear measurement. (And all linear measurements are directly proportional.) Thus, if the ratio of the perimeters is 5/4, the ratios of the lengths of sides is also 5/4. The ratio of the areas, on the other hand, is (5/4)2, so you can simply multiply the area of the smaller square by this factor.


Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?

Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
