What is similar figures and proportion?
proportions are equal things like say 10 hot dogs = 10 hamburgers. same for simalar figures except with shapes or figures.
What is similar about scale factor and proportions?
proportions are used in scale factors; scale factors ARE proportions
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
Can congruent figures be similar figures?
All congruent figures are similar figures, and have identical sizes.
When did the proportion invented?
The concept of proportion has its roots in ancient mathematics, particularly in the work of the Greeks around the 5th century BCE. Mathematicians like Pythagoras and later Euclid explored the relationships between numbers and geometric figures, laying the groundwork for understanding proportions. The formal study of proportions was further developed in the context of ratios and similar figures during the Renaissance.
