Similar polygons, have all angles the congruent, and the sides are proportional: if side A, for example, is two times side B, then a similar polygon will also have the corresponding 'side A' two times corresponding 'side B'.
In the same way - Scale drawings have everything in the drawing 'geometrically similar' to the actual object or building or land area (as in a scale map) that they represent.

What is the sizing of figures by social rank called?
Hierarchical scale.
What are the applications of axonometric and oblique drawings on working drawings?
A. Axonometric and oblique drawings-three-dimensional drawings constructed without the use of perspective-are gaining popularity because they are quicker and easier to execute, and because their dimensions remain true to scale for any view. Because these views are easy to draw with instruments, they become suitable for use on working drawings.
What are manual drawing?
Manual Drawings are hand drawn, with the help of drawing instruments like pencil, T-scale, set squares, etc. For manual drawings, a drafting table is compulsory to get a precised drawing.
Show me a centimeter scale?
Here is a centimeter scale. Scroll down to related links and look at "Inches and centimeters in comparison".
What are the different types of pictorial drawing?
The different types of pictorial drawing include isometric, oblique, and perspective drawings. Isometric drawings show all three dimensions of an object in a single view with lines parallel to the three major axes. Oblique drawings represent objects in 3D by showing one face in true scale and the other two faces at an angle. Perspective drawings create the illusion of depth and distance by using vanishing points and converging lines.
How are maps and scale drawings related to ratios and proportions?
You need ratios to find out what scale to use.
Why are congruent figures also similar?
They are similar, with a scale factor of 1.
What is the definition of a scale factor?
The ratio of any two corresponding similar geometric figures lengths in two . Note: The ratio of areas of two similar figures is the square of the scale factor. The ratio of volumes of two similar figures is the cube of the scale factor. .... (: hope it helped (: .....
Can congruent figures also be similar?

How is a scale factor related to scale drawings?
The scale factor of a scale drawing is the ratio of any length in the drawing to the true corresponding length in the "real" object.
What is the difference between scale and scale factor?
The scale gives the ratio that compares the measurements of the drawing or model to the measurements of the real object. Scale factor is a scale written as a ratio without units in simplest from.

What does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the perimeter?
The perimeter will scale by the same factor.
What are the relationship between the area scale factor and the side length scale factor of similar figures?
The area scale factor is the square of the side length scale factor.
