What does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the given measurement perimeters?
Perimeter will scale by the same factor. Area of the new figure, however is the original figures area multiplied by the scale factor squared. .
Why are congruent figures also similar?
They are similar, with a scale factor of 1.
What is the definition of a scale factor?
The ratio of any two corresponding similar geometric figures lengths in two . Note: The ratio of areas of two similar figures is the square of the scale factor. The ratio of volumes of two similar figures is the cube of the scale factor. .... (: hope it helped (: .....
Can congruent figures also be similar?
They must be similar, with scale factor = 1.
What does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the side lengths?
It tells you how many times the side length will grow or shrink.
What does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the given measurement perimeters?
Perimeter will scale by the same factor. Area of the new figure, however is the original figures area multiplied by the scale factor squared. .
What is the scale factor of two figures with a perimeter of 50 Cm and 75 Cm?
There need not be any. There is no scale factor between a pentagon with a perimeter of 50 cm and a triangle with a perimeter of 75 cm. The shapes are totally different!The scale factor is 2 : 3.
What is the relationship between perimeters and areas of similar figures?
Whatever the ratio of perimeters of the similar figures, the areas will be in the ratios squared. Examples: * if the figures have perimeters in a ratio of 1:2, their areas will have a ratio of 1²:2² = 1:4. * If the figures have perimeters in a ratio of 2:3, their areas will have a ratio of 2²:3² = 4:9.
What are the relationship between the area scale factor and the side length scale factor of similar figures?
The area scale factor is the square of the side length scale factor.
For parts ac what does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the given measurements a side lengths b perimeter c areas?
For a, it tells you how many times the side lengths grew or shrunk.For b, it tells you that the perimeter grows or shrinks: scale factor times original perimeter.For c, it tells you that the area grows or shrinks: scale factor squared times the original area.

What does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the perimeters?
if you add up all the sides but in a smart way
What does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the side lengths?
It tells you how many times the side length will grow or shrink.
How is the perimeter and the size change factor related?
If you change the scale factor of a geometric figure by a factor "x", that is, keeping the new figure similar to the old one, the perimeter (which is also a linear measurement) will change by the SAME factor "x".Note that any area will change by a factor of x squared.
What is the relationship between scale factor and perimeter?
It is a strict linear relationship. Double the size, double the perimeter. The area, however, increases by the square of the scale factor.
