What are the relationship between the area scale factor and the side length scale factor of similar figures?
The area scale factor is the square of the side length scale factor.
What is the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures?
scale factor
If two figures are similar what is the scale factor?
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.
What is the name of the common ratio of corresponding sides of similar figures?
The scale factor.The scale factor.The scale factor.The scale factor.
Two similar rectangles have sides in ratio to two thirds what is the ratio of the perimeters?
Theorem: If two similar triangles have a scalar factor a : b, then the ratio of their perimeters is a : bBy the theorem, the ratio of the perimeters of the similar triangles is 2 : 3.For rectangles, perimeter is 2*(L1 + W1). If the second rectangle's sides are scaled by a factor S, then its perimeter is 2*(S*L1 + S*W1) = S*2*(L1 + W1), or the perimeter of the first, multiplied by the same factor S.In general, if an N-sided polygon has sides {x1, x2, x3....,xN}, then its perimeter is x1 + x2 + x3 + ... + xN. If the second similar polygon (with each side (labeled y, with corresponding subscripts) scaled by S, so that y1 = S*x1, etc. The perimeter is y1 + y2 + ... + yN = S*x1 + S*x2 + ... + S*xN = S*(x1 + x2 + ... + xN ),which is the factor S, times the perimeter of the first polygon.
What is the relationship between perimeters and areas of similar figures?
Whatever the ratio of perimeters of the similar figures, the areas will be in the ratios squared. Examples: * if the figures have perimeters in a ratio of 1:2, their areas will have a ratio of 1²:2² = 1:4. * If the figures have perimeters in a ratio of 2:3, their areas will have a ratio of 2²:3² = 4:9.
What does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the given measurement perimeters?
Perimeter will scale by the same factor. Area of the new figure, however is the original figures area multiplied by the scale factor squared. .
How do scale factor and ratio of perimeters compare?
The sacle factor between two shapes is the same as the ratio of their perimeters.
What does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the perimeter?
The perimeter will scale by the same factor.
What are the relationship between the area scale factor and the side length scale factor of similar figures?
The area scale factor is the square of the side length scale factor.
Why are congruent figures also similar?
They are similar, with a scale factor of 1.
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 (: .....
Can congruent figures also be similar?
They must be similar, with scale factor = 1.
What does the scale factor between two similar figures tell you about the side lengths?
It tells you how many times the side length will grow or shrink.
The ratio used to enlarge or reduced similar figures?
Scale Factor
Describe at least two ways of finding a missing side length in a pair of similar figures?
You would look at the side lengths and the scale factor to find a pair of similar figures :)
What does scale factor tell about the area of two similar figures?
The areas will be proportional to (scale)2
