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.
An equilaterial triangle is always similar, because the corresponding angles are conqruent, it has the same basic shape, and it has a scale factor.
The scale factor between two similar shapes is the ratio of the dimensions of one (often the smaller) compared with the dimension of the other (the larger).
just use a scale factor! multiply all the dimensions by X and you'll have the dimensions of the new triangle. of course the angles and all are the same b.c theyre similar.
No, there cannot be a zero in any scale factor.
The scale factor is 3:1
The way you use a scale factor to enlarge a triangle is to multiply each side of the triangle by that scale factor. Your triangle will then be that many times larger.
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.
If two triangles are similar, then the reduced ratio of any two corresponding sides is called the scale factor of the similar triangles
An equilaterial triangle is always similar, because the corresponding angles are conqruent, it has the same basic shape, and it has a scale factor.
the answer to this question is 1:4 10: ? =10x4/1 =40
You find the scale factor on a triangle by dividing the short side by the long side.
The scale factor between two similar shapes is the ratio of the dimensions of one (often the smaller) compared with the dimension of the other (the larger).
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.
just use a scale factor! multiply all the dimensions by X and you'll have the dimensions of the new triangle. of course the angles and all are the same b.c theyre similar.
No, there cannot be a zero in any scale factor.
The area scale factor is the square of the side length scale factor.
Scale factor: 2 to 1
