Finding the scale factor for two polygons is simple to do. All you have to do is find the angles in a rectangle.
To find the scale factor of two similar polygons, you can compare the lengths of corresponding sides. Select one pair of corresponding sides from each polygon and divide the length of a side from one polygon by the length of the corresponding side from the other polygon. The resulting ratio is the scale factor, which will remain consistent for all pairs of corresponding sides in the similar polygons.
well.... first off you have to find the scale factor...
The linear scale factor is 100.
You need information about a pre-image AND and image to work out a scale factor.
PUT A HAT On it
cont the angle then multiply by 77
You find the scale factor on a triangle by dividing the short side by the long side.
# is the ratio of the demensions in the drawing to the corresponding actual dimensions. The scale factor for a scale drawing is the ratio of the dimensions in the drawing to the corresponding acual bimensions.
To find the scale factor of two triangles, look first for one pair of corresponding sides--one side from the smaller triangle and the corresponding side from the larger triangle. Divide the larger side length by the smaller side length, and that quotient is your scale factor.
l (3,5) (1&1.2,3) m (9,6) 4&1/2, 3) what is the scale factor

To find out what 20cm represents on the map with a scale of 4cm to 12km, you first need to determine the scale factor. In this case, the scale factor is 12km divided by 4cm, which equals 3km per cm. Then, you can multiply the scale factor by 20cm to find out what it represents on the map. 20cm multiplied by 3km per cm equals 60km. Therefore, 20cm on the map represents 60 kilometers in actual distance.
Look for corresponding parts of the two figures. Their ratio is the scale factor. For example, if you have two similar triangles, one has a side of length 3, and the corresponding side on the other triangle is 5, then the scale factor is 5/3 going from the small triangle to the big, or 3/5 going from the big triangle to the small.
Ok sooo you first put the scale number over the actual number then u ( if needed) covert to the same kind of measurement thennn you put the outcome over the scale again and you simplify........
A scale factor tells how much the lengths in one diagram must be multiplied by to get the same lengths in a second.One diagram could be a map and the second the real world!To calculate the scale factor, measure the corresponding lengths in the same units and then divide the length of the second diagram by the length of the first diagram; this will give you the scale factor to convert the first diagram into the second diagram.For example, if you were to draw a map of you street, you may decide that 2 centimetres on the map will represent 1 metre in the real world.The ratio here is 2 cm : 1 m.However, 1 m = 100 cm which means that the ratio is 2 cm : 100 cmwhich is a scale factor of 100 cm ÷ 2 cm = 50.Another example: if you have two similar triangles and the corresponding sides measure as 5cm in the first triangle and 2 cm in the second, the scale factor is 2 cm ÷ 5 cm = 2/5 or 0.4
Well, isn't that just a happy little mystery to solve! If the man in the photo is 1.5 inches tall and the man in real life is 6 feet tall, we can find the scale factor by dividing the real height by the height in the photo. So, 6 feet divided by 1.5 inches gives us a scale factor of 48. That means every inch in the photo represents 48 inches in real life. Happy painting!
