How are the areas of similar rectangles related to the scale factor?
The areas are proportional to the square of the scale factor.
Show how to find scale factor of a small triangle to a larger similar triangle?
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.
What triangle is always similar?
An equilaterial triangle is always similar, because the corresponding angles are conqruent, it has the same basic shape, and it has a scale factor.
How do you find scale factor for two similar solids when their volume is known?
The linear scale factor is proportional to the cube root of the volumes.
Are a triangle with sides 12 in and 8 in and a triangle with sides 24 in and 30 in similar?
No, because 8 isn't a factor of 30.

What is a scale factor on a triangle?
If two triangles are similar, then the reduced ratio of any two corresponding sides is called the scale factor of the similar triangles
Are a triangle with sides 12 in and 8 in and a triangle with sides 24 in and 30 in similar?
No, because 8 isn't a factor of 30.
What is true about the area of similar triangles when the sides are increased by a factor of two?
When you multiple the area of the small triangle by four it equals the area of the large triangle.

when you multiply the area of the small triangle by four it equals the area of the large triangle.
What is an isosceles triangle that has a base of 8 inches and legs measuring 12 inches How wide is the base of a similar triangle with legs measuring 36 inches?
the measure of the base in the similar triangle would be 24 inches because you are increasing by a scale factor of (3/1)
How do you find a separate set of lengths for a similar triangle?
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.
Tripling the radius of a sphere increase the surface area by a factor?
By a factor of 32 = 9. In general, surface area (for any two similar objects) is proportional to the square of any linear measurement.
