The scale factor will depend on the side lengths. (Angle measures of the figures will be identical.)
For example, if the smaller side had a length of 5 and the larger side had a length of 10 the ratio of the two figures would be 1:2.

if you add up all the sides but in a smart way

Scale factor Significant figures
if two polygons are similar, then the ratio of the length of 2 corresponding sides is called 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 (: .....
The perimeter will scale by the same factor.
The areas will be proportional to (scale)2
scale factor
Perimeter will scale by the same factor. Area of the new figure, however is the original figures area multiplied by the scale factor squared. .
If the sides of two shapes have a scale factor of sf:1, then their areas will be in the ratio of sf2: 1.
The ratio of the lengths of their corresponding sides.
If the scale factor is 1. That is, if a pair of corresponding sides are the same length.
You would look at the side lengths and the scale factor to find a pair of similar figures :)
if you add up all the sides but in a smart way
It tells you how many times the side length will grow or shrink.
If two triangles are similar, then the reduced ratio of any two corresponding sides is called the scale factor of the similar triangles
