The information of a scale factors tell you how much to multiply to stretch or shrink the figure into the similar figure. On the other hand the information given by the twirls of side lengths is a comparison of two quantities

How can you tell if two figures are similar?
Two figures are similar if: - The measures of their corresponding angles are equal. - The ratios of the lengths of the corresponding sides are proportional.
How can you use ratios of the side lengths to find the angle measures of the acute angles in a right triangle?
By using trigonometry that is applicable to a right angle triangle.
Are all triangles equilateral?
No.Equilateral triangles must have equal angles (all 60 degrees) and equal length sides; there are also:Isosceles triangles which have two equal angles and two equal sides;Scalene triangles which have all three sides, and hence all three angles, of different lengths;Right angled triangles (which can have all sides of different lengths, or two sides of equal length) have (as the name suggests) one right angle. This means Pythagoras and the trigonometric ratios can be used on its side lengths.
What is the difference between a tangent and a secant?
They are different trigonometric ratios!
Are the ratios of all three pairs of corresponding sides of similar triangles equal?
Yes. When a shape is enlarged the scale factor gives the ratio between corresponding lengths of the enlargement and the original.
How are ratios and scale factors different?
Ratios show the information of the side lengths scale factors show the information of how they are related
How do ratios of side lengths compare for similar triangles?
they both have the same ratios
Ratios of equal quantities are called factors?
Ye they are called factors but there are all different kinds of factors to decide from. :) hehehe smiley
What two ratios measure factors that affect profitability?
what tw ratios measure factors
Give the definition of similar triangle?
Similar triangles means they have the same lengths OR the corresponding lengths have equal ratios.
What can you say about the ratios of to side lengths?
The answer wil depend on side lengths of what shape!The answer wil depend on side lengths of what shape!The answer wil depend on side lengths of what shape!The answer wil depend on side lengths of what shape!
Why do similar triangles have the same trigonometric ratios?
Trigonometric ratios are characteristics of angles, not of lengths. And, by definition, the corresponding angles an similar triangles have the same measures.
What are assorted ratios?
A collection of different ratios.
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.
Factors which can cause accounting ratios to be misleading when used for comparison?
1.Window Dressing2.Different accounting policies3.InflationSam.
Steps in ratio analysis?
Steps in 'Ratio Analysis'Step 1: Collection of information, which are relevant from the financial statements and then to calculate different ratios accordingly.Step 2: Comparison of computed ratios with the past ratios of the same organisation or with the industry ratios.Step 3: Interpretation, drawing of inferences and report-writingClassification of Ratios
What are the ratios that name the same comparison?
equivalent ratios are different ratios that name the same comparison
