A Scale Factor (SF) is the amount between two objects. lets say i have a square the length of the square is 2cm, the top side is 4cm. Then lets say I have a new square. The length of the square is 4cm, the top of the square is 8cm. The SF would be 2. Because 2 times 2=4. And 4 times 2= 8. P.S scale factor already multiplied. So you don't have to say times 2, then it would be times times 2.

How are the information given by scale factors different from the information given by the ratios of side lengths?
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
What does scale factor between two similar figures tell you about their side lenghts?
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! ^-^
If you are too big for one scale to read can you weigh with two putting one foot on one scale and the other foot on the other?
no you can not. There would be no way to tell how much weight was being read on both scales. You have to go out and buy a scale that has a higher weight allowance.
What is the application of geometric mean in medicine?
The geometric mean can be used in medicine, to determine renal function. Studying the left and right kidneys will allow a doctor to figure out how they are functioning, and the geometric mean will tell the percentage of error of the posterior view is not used.
What is the diameter of a circumference of 51 inches?
Can't tell you the answer but I can tell how to do it. 51 divided by 3.14
