New perimeter = old perimeter*scale factor New area = Old area*scale factor2
# 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.
Here's how to do that: 1). Find its length. 2). Find its perimeter. 3). Divide (its length) by (its perimeter). The quotient is the ratio of its length to its perimeter.
The ratio of the length of the side in the big triangle to the length of the corresponding side in the little triangle is the scale factor.
The ratio of the volumes of similar solids is (the ratio of their linear dimensions)3 .

The scale factor is the ratio of any side of the image and the corresponding side of the original figure.
Since the scale factor of the moon to the earth is 1:4, then the ratio of their areas will be the scale factor squared or 1:16. The ratio of their volumes will be the scale factor cubed or 1:64.
Here's how to do that: 1). Find its length. 2). Find its perimeter. 3). Divide (its length) by (its perimeter). The quotient is the ratio of its length to its perimeter.
The ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale factor. If rectangle #1 has sides L and W, then the perimeter is 2*L1 + 2*W1 = 2*(L1 + W1).If rectangle # 2 is similar to #1 and sides are scaled by a factor S, so that L2 = S*L1 and W2 = S*W1, the perimeter of rectangle #2 is 2*(L2 + W2)= 2*(S*L1 + S*W1) = S*2*(L1 + W1) = S*(perimeter of rectangle #1).
The ratio of the length of the side in the big triangle to the length of the corresponding side in the little triangle is the scale factor.
divide the perimeter by 27 the multiply it by 3 and then u get the answer
The ratio of the volumes of similar solids is (the ratio of their linear dimensions)3 .
I highly doubt anyone knows. Perhaps, find a large map of Minnesota, estimate its perimeter (maybe by surrounding the border with string) then multiply by the proper scale factor.
well.... first off you have to find the scale factor...
To find the scale factors of two objects, you need to compare the ratios of things like their sizes, areas, volumes, and length. For example, if one is given a volume of 7 for a shape, and a second shape has a volume of 14, you have to compare the volume ratio of these two shapes to find the scale factor. This scale factor is 1 to 2, or the volume of the second shape is twice the first one. Scale factors are useful for scale drawings.
