You would look at the side lengths and the scale factor to find a pair of similar figures :)

How do you find the missing side length in a pair of similar figures?

To find the missing side length in a pair of similar figures, you can use the property that corresponding sides of similar figures are in proportion. Set up a ratio using the known side lengths from both figures, such that (\frac{\text{length of one side in figure 1}}{\text{length of corresponding side in figure 2}} = \frac{\text{missing side in figure 1}}{\text{known side in figure 2}}). Cross-multiply to solve for the missing length. Finally, simplify to get the value of the missing side.


How do you solve for missing sides in similar figures?

set up a proportion. cross multiply. solve


If two figures are similar how can you find a missing side length?

To find a missing side length in similar figures, you can use the property that corresponding sides of similar figures are in proportion. Set up a ratio using the lengths of the known corresponding sides from both figures. For example, if the ratio of the sides of Figure 1 to Figure 2 is known, you can express the relationship as a proportion and solve for the missing side length. This can be represented mathematically as (\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}), where (a) and (b) are corresponding sides, and (c) is the known side from one figure, with (d) being the unknown side in the other figure.


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

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


Can congruent figures be similar figures?

All congruent figures are similar figures, and have identical sizes.


What is the definition for similar figures?

Similar figures are geometrical figures, which have the same shape but not the same size


How can you describe figures that have the same shape and are the same size?

equal, the same as, mathmatically similar, exactly the same as each other etc. The technical term for figures of identical size and shape is "isomorphic".
