What is a ratio used to enlarge or reduce smilalr figures?
dialation
How are similar and congruent figures the same?
Congruent figures are similar - in sides as well as angles. Corresonding angles of similar figures congruent but their sides are not. The sides are all in some fixed ratio. [If that ratio is 1, the figures are congruent.]
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 (: .....
How do you find the ratio of two similar 3 dimensional figures when only given the surface area?
Notice the exponents in these two statements.Those little tiny numbers tell the whole big story:(the ratio of the surface areas of similar figures) = (the ratio of their linear dimensions)2(the ratio of the volumes of similar solids) = (the ratio of their linear dimensions)3
When you enlarge or reduce a figure what features stay the same?
When you enlarge or reduce a figure, the angles between the lines in the figure will remain the same. The ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides will also remain the same. Additionally, the shape of the figure will generally stay the same, although its size will change.
