How do you solve your math problems dealing with similar figures?
Any two corresponding sides in two similar figures have a common ratio called the scale factor. Since the figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides of the figures are equal. 1. Match a side of both figures, 2. write the proportions 3. substitute the values 4. Write the cross product 5. Divide both sides by a common factor 6. simplify 7. Convert improper fraction into mixed number
What is it called when 2 figures have the same shape but are different sizes?
Its called SIMALUR * * * * * SIMILAR
Why all congruent figures are similar but not all similar figures are congruent?
Take the triangle for instance, there are 3 types. One is the same on each side which is the equilateral. But the other 2 types are flat on 2 sides and diagonal on the other side.
Which figures are similar?
figures 1 and 2
How many sides does a figure have?
2 dimensional (plane) figures can have three or more straight edges as sides. 3 dimensional (solid) figures can have four or more plane sides (faces). They can have fewer sides if the sides are not straight.
