In similar figures, any unit of area is proportional to the square of any linear measure. In this case, since the perimeter of the larger figure is twice as big, the area of the larger figure will be 4 times as big.

An equilateral triangle is the only polygon in which the exterior angle is larger than the interior angle. They are equal in a square and smaller in all regular polygons with more sides,


The similarity ratio of two similar polygons is 2 and 3 Compare the smaller polygon to the larger polygon Find the ratio of their areas?

For two similar polygons, the ratio of their areas is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding side lengths. Given the similarity ratio of the smaller polygon to the larger polygon is 2:3, we calculate the area ratio as follows: ( \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{4}{9} ). Therefore, the ratio of the areas of the smaller polygon to the larger polygon is 4:9.


One pair of corresponding sides of two similar polygons measures 12 and 15 The perimeter of the smaller polygon is 30 Find the perimeter of the larger?

The perimeter of the larger polygon will have the same ratio to the perimeter of the smaller as the ratio of the corresponding sides. Therefore, the larger polygon will have a perimeter of 30(15/12) = 37.5, or 38 to the justified number of significant digits stated.


How do you solve the ratio perimeters of two smaller squares is 5 to 4 if the area of the smaller square is 32 square units what is the area of the larger square?

The area of similar figures is proportional to the square of any linear measurement. (And all linear measurements are directly proportional.) Thus, if the ratio of the perimeters is 5/4, the ratios of the lengths of sides is also 5/4. The ratio of the areas, on the other hand, is (5/4)2, so you can simply multiply the area of the smaller square by this factor.

What is the number used to multiply the lengths of a figure to make a larger or smaller similar image?

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.
