ratio
If two objects have the same shape, they are called "similar." When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles shown are similar, compare their corresponding sides.
Three sided polygons would be triangles. Triangles that have the same shape (same angle measures) but are different sizes (different side lengths) would be called similar triangles. In similar triangles, corresponding sides have lengths in the same ratio. If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, then: AB/DE = BC/EF = AC/DF.
Proportional.
They are congruent triangles.

If two triangles are similar, then the reduced ratio of any two corresponding sides is called the scale factor of the similar triangles
They are congruent triangles.
The scale or scaling factor.
The sum of the squares of the two smaller sides (the two sides adjoining the right angle) is equal to the square of the longest side - which is called the hypotenuse. This result is Pythagoras's Theorem.
Similar triangles
The number used to multiply the lengths of a figure to create a larger or smaller similar image is called the scale factor. It is a ratio that represents the proportional relationship between the corresponding sides of two similar figures.
Those would be SIMILAR triangles.
