The definition of "similar" geometric figures requires that the ratios of all equivalent sides, between the two figures, are the same. For example, one side of one triangle divided by the equivalent side of the other triangle might result in a ratio of 3.5 - in this case, if the triangles are similar, you will get the same ratio if you compare other equivalent sides.

If two parallelograms are similar what do you know about the ratios of the two side lengths within one parallelograms and the ratios of the correspondingside lengths in the other parallelogram?

If and when two parallelograms are similar, you know that the ratio of two side lengths within one parallelogram will describe the relationship between the corresponding side lengths in a similar parallelogram. If and when two parallelograms are similar, you know that the ratio of corresponding side lengths in the other parallelogram will give you the scale factor that relates each side length in one parallelogram to the corresponding side length in a similar parallelogram.


True or false with similar triangles the ratios of all three pairs of corresponding sides are never equal?

With similar triangles the ratios of all three pairs of corresponding sides are never equal?

false


What is a ratio of corresponding side lenghts are proportional?

It is an example of a statement that is presented as a question with minimum of effort. Unfortunately, the minimum effort makes the question meaningless. There is no context given. As a result there are times when the statement within the question would be true and others when it would be false. Without the context it is impossible to tell and so it is a statement with no value whatsoever.


What are the 3 trig ratios and how do they work?

A right angle triangle has three sides and three interior angles one of which is 90 degrees. The names of its sides are the adjacent the opposite and the hypotenuse and using the 3 trig ratios we can find the interior angles or lengths of the sides depending on the information given.Tangent angle = opposite/adjacentSine angle = opposite/hypotenuseCosine angle = adjacent/hypotenuseIf we are given the lengths of 2 sides we can work out the angles with the above ratios.If we are given a length and an angle we can work out the lengths of the other 2 sides by rearranging the above ratios.
