They are similar to each other by ratio and angles
They are similar to each other by ratio and angles
The two similar shapes will have the same angles
If the sides of two shapes have a scale factor of sf:1, then their areas will be in the ratio of sf2: 1.
The scale factor is the number that the side lengths of one figure can be multiplied by to give the corresponding side lengths of the other figure.
The perimeter will scale by the same factor.
The areas will be proportional to (scale)2
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 you add up all the sides but in a smart way
It tells you how many times the side length will grow or shrink.
to prove two triangles are similar, get 2 angles congruent
The scale factor a shape and its image is the constant of proportionality (ratio) between the lengths of their corresponding sides.
