To find the scale factor of two triangles, look first for one pair of corresponding sides--one side from the smaller triangle and the corresponding side from the larger triangle. Divide the larger side length by the smaller side length, and that quotient is your scale factor.
For a, it tells you how many times the side lengths grew or shrunk.For b, it tells you that the perimeter grows or shrinks: scale factor times original perimeter.For c, it tells you that the area grows or shrinks: scale factor squared times the original area.
16 cm*16 cm =256 cm2
what isthe answer of a rhombus whose side is 16.2 cm?
130 is the area.
You find the scale factor on a triangle by dividing the short side by the long side.
The scale factor is the ratio of any side of the image and the corresponding side of the original figure.
To find the scale factor of two triangles, look first for one pair of corresponding sides--one side from the smaller triangle and the corresponding side from the larger triangle. Divide the larger side length by the smaller side length, and that quotient is your scale factor.
The area scale factor is the square of the side length scale factor.
The ratio of the length of the side in the big triangle to the length of the corresponding side in the little triangle is the scale factor.

A negative scale factor is used to produce the image on the other side of the centre of enlargement (scaled to the absolute value of the scale factor).
The way you use a scale factor to enlarge a triangle is to multiply each side of the triangle by that scale factor. Your triangle will then be that many times larger.
Say you had Triangle A. Triangle A has these sides: Side 1: 9 Side 2: 6 Side 3: 6 Pretend the scale factor indicates Triangle A is 3 times the size of Triangle B, whose sides are currently unknown. To find the sides of triangle B, simply divide all the sides of triangle A by 3. You should get: Triangle B Side 1: 3 Side 2: 2 Side 3: 2 I hope that somewhat answers your question! ^-^
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 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.
Look for corresponding parts of the two figures. Their ratio is the scale factor. For example, if you have two similar triangles, one has a side of length 3, and the corresponding side on the other triangle is 5, then the scale factor is 5/3 going from the small triangle to the big, or 3/5 going from the big triangle to the small.
