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.

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.
The scale factor between two similar figures is the ratio of their corresponding linear dimensions (lengths). When calculating the area of similar figures, the area ratio is equal to the square of the scale factor, since area is a two-dimensional measurement. Thus, if the scale factor is ( k ), the ratio of the areas is ( k^2 ). This relationship illustrates that while the scale factor pertains to linear dimensions, the area ratio reflects the effect of that scaling in two dimensions.
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 :)

It tells you how many times the side length will grow or shrink.
