The scale factor of triangle ABC to triangle XYZ can be determined by comparing the lengths of corresponding sides of the two triangles. To find the scale factor, divide the length of a side in triangle ABC by the length of the corresponding side in triangle XYZ. If all corresponding sides have the same ratio, that ratio is the scale factor for the triangles.
Two figures whose linear measurements differ by multiplying by 2. A triangle that is 3 by 4 by 5 would dilate to 6 by 8 by 10.
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.
No, there cannot be a zero in any scale factor.
The scale factor is 3:1
You increase the scale factor.
You need numbers from the sides of the triangles. Take numbers from the corresponding (matching) sides, one number from the small triangle, and one number from the big triangle. Then divide the big number by the small number. The answer is the scale factor. Put another way, the scale factor is the number that multiplies the small triangle to create the large triangle.
The way you use a scale factor to enlarge a triangle is to multiply each side of the triangle by that scale factor. Your triangle will then be that many times larger.
You find the scale factor on a triangle by dividing the short side by the long side.
The scale factor of triangle ABC to triangle XYZ can be determined by comparing the lengths of corresponding sides of the two triangles. To find the scale factor, divide the length of a side in triangle ABC by the length of the corresponding side in triangle XYZ. If all corresponding sides have the same ratio, that ratio is the scale factor for the triangles.
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.
Two figures whose linear measurements differ by multiplying by 2. A triangle that is 3 by 4 by 5 would dilate to 6 by 8 by 10.
No, there cannot be a zero in any scale factor.
If the scale factor between two shapes is 1, the shapes are congruent.
To find the scale factor of two triangles, look first for one pair of corresponding sides--one side from the smaller triangle and the corresponding side from the larger triangle. Divide the larger side length by the smaller side length, and that quotient is your scale factor.
The scale factor is 3:1
If a big triangle has a base length of 6, and a small triangle has a corresponding base length of 3, the scale factor from large to small is 2/1 (or 2). The scale factor from small to large would be 1/2.
