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
If two figures are similar how can you find a missing side length?
To find a missing side length in similar figures, you can use the property that corresponding sides of similar figures are in proportion. Set up a ratio using the lengths of the known corresponding sides from both figures. For example, if the ratio of the sides of Figure 1 to Figure 2 is known, you can express the relationship as a proportion and solve for the missing side length. This can be represented mathematically as (\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}), where (a) and (b) are corresponding sides, and (c) is the known side from one figure, with (d) being the unknown side in the other figure.
When 2 sides meet what is the point called?
Intersection point in lines & in figures' sides it's called vertex.

What does it mean when 2 geometric figures are similar?
It means that the sides of one are directly proportional to the corresponding sides of the other. That all the corresponding angles are equal.

There are two rectangles what are the ratio of the first to the second?
I guess you mean the ratio of the areas; it depends if the 2 rectangles are "similar figures"; that is their matching sides are in the same ratio. If they are similar then the ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of the sides.
If two figures are similar how can you find a missing side length?
To find a missing side length in similar figures, you can use the property that corresponding sides of similar figures are in proportion. Set up a ratio using the lengths of the known corresponding sides from both figures.

This can be represented mathematically as (\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}), where (a) and (b) are corresponding sides, and (c) is the known side from one figure, with (d) being the unknown side in the other figure.
Two similar figures have sides in the ratio of 2 3 If a side of the smaller triangle has a length of 7 what is the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle?
10 1/2
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.
What is a ratio of corresponding side lengths are proportional?
A ratio of corresponding side lengths being proportional means that the lengths of sides from two similar geometric figures have a consistent relationship. For instance, if two triangles are similar, the ratio of the lengths of their corresponding sides is the same across all three pairs of sides. This proportionality allows for the use of scale factors in calculations involving the figures, such as area and perimeter. Thus, if one triangle has sides of length 3, 4, and 5, and the similar triangle has sides of length 6, 8, and 10, the ratio of corresponding sides is 1:2.
Are some rectangles similar?
no some rectangles cannot be similar. a rectangle is a shape with 2 = sides and then 2 more different = sides. it is impossible because if 2 rectangles were similar than that would not be a rectangle. similar means having corresponding sides no it is not possible
