Any two corresponding sides in two similar figures have a common ratio called the scale factor.
Since the figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides of the figures are equal.
1. Match a side of both figures,
2. write the proportions
3. substitute the values
4. Write the cross product
5. Divide both sides by a common factor
6. simplify
7. Convert improper fraction into mixed number

Can Similar triangles improve your solving problem skills?
No, only your brain can. Similar triangles can be used to solve some problems but not others but it is for you to work out - using your brain - whether or not similar triangles are relevant and then to figure out how they might be used.
