the figures are similar. Find the value of each variable. solve
usually its used to find a missing angle or length of a right triangle. Of course there is more to trigonometry. any way you can use sine, cosine, and tangent, to fine the missing angle or length
That will depend on the information given as for example if you are given its width and area then in order to find its length divide the width into the area.
they are all the same length
You would look at the side lengths and the scale factor to find a pair of similar figures :)

Of what?
To find the missing length of a triangle
n:8 15:10 n=12
You need to know the proportionality constant, or ratio of the two figures. Suppose two corresponding sides have lengths of 10cm and 25cm, then the ratio is 25/10 = 2.5. If another side of the first figure is 6cm long, then multiply it by 2.5 to find the length of the corresponding side: 6cm x 2.5 = 15cm. If one side of the second figure is 30cm long, then divide it by 2.5 to get the length of the corresponding side in the first figure: 30cm / 2.5 = 12cm.
by multipling

You use the pythagorean theorem.
