Assuming you are already sure that the two objects are, indeed, similar: You measure corresponding lengths of the two objects, and divide.You measure the lengths of a pair of corresponding sides. The scale factor is the ratio of the two measures.
Measure the lengths of corresponding sides. Then divide the length from the altered polygon by that from the original.
The scale factor of triangle ABC to triangle XYZ can be determined by comparing the lengths of corresponding sides of the two triangles. To find the scale factor, divide the length of a side in triangle ABC by the length of the corresponding side in triangle XYZ. If all corresponding sides have the same ratio, that ratio is the scale factor for the triangles.
To find the scale factor in math, compare the lengths of corresponding sides of two similar figures. The scale factor is calculated by dividing the length of a side in one figure by the length of the corresponding side in the other figure. If the figures are enlarged, the scale factor will be greater than 1; if they are reduced, it will be less than 1. Make sure to use the same corresponding sides to ensure accuracy.
Divide the product by the factor[s] you know. The answer is the missing factor.
You would look at the side lengths and the scale factor to find a pair of similar figures :)

well.... first off you have to find the scale factor...
A scale Factor is Algbrea so you have to... x - + and/or divided.
how do you find the scale factor of two circles
You find the scale factor on a triangle by dividing the short side by the long side.
The linear scale factor is 100.
To measure a scale drawing, use a ruler to determine the lengths of the drawn dimensions. Once you have those measurements, apply the scale factor provided (e.g., 1 inch = 5 feet) to convert the drawing dimensions to actual dimensions. Multiply the measured lengths by the scale factor to find the real-world dimensions of the object. For instance, if a line in the drawing measures 3 inches and the scale is 1 inch = 5 feet, the actual dimension would be 3 inches × 5 feet/inch = 15 feet.
