If to polygons are similar how can you find the scale factor?
You divide a length of one polygon by the corresponding length in the other polygon. Any length will do, as long as you use the corresponding length in both.
What is the difference between scale factor and scale ratio?
if two polygons are similar, then the ratio of the length of 2 corresponding sides is called a scale factor
The scale factor of a figure is 1.8 One side of the larger figure is 12cm How long is the corresponding size of the smaller figure?
At a scale of 1.8 to 1, the corresponding length on the smaller figure is 6 2/3 cm (6.66 cm) 12 cm is approximately 1.8 times 6.66 cm
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 are some methods that can prove triangles congruent?
SSS - Side-Side-SideAll three corresponding sides of the triangles have the same length AAS - Angle-Angle-Side; ASA - Angle-Side-AngleTwo corresponding angles are equal and a corresponding side is equal SAS - Side-Angle-SideTwo corresponding sides have the same length and the enclosed angle is the same. Note: it is important that the angle is the one between the corresponding sides of equal length.RHS - Right_angle-Hypotenuse-SideIn a right angled triangle the hypotenuse and a corresponding side must be equal.
What is the scale factor of the dilation that transforms triangle PQR to triangle P'Q'R' explain your answer?
The scale factor of the dilation that transforms triangle PQR to triangle P'Q'R' can be determined by comparing the lengths of corresponding sides of the triangles. If, for example, the length of side PQ is 4 units and the length of side P'Q' is 8 units, the scale factor would be 8/4 = 2. This means that triangle P'Q' is twice the size of triangle PQR, indicating a dilation with a scale factor of 2.

What is the ratios of a length on a scale drawing to the corresponding length on the real object?
The scale factor.
If to polygons are similar how can you find the scale factor?
You divide a length of one polygon by the corresponding length in the other polygon. Any length will do, as long as you use the corresponding length in both.
How can you determine the scale factor of a dilation by looking at a segment and its image?
Every part of the original scales by the same scale factor. By using a segment of the original you will determine the scale factor by dividing the length of the image by the length of the original.
What is the scale factor of triangle ABC to triangle XYZ?
The scale factor of triangle ABC to triangle XYZ can be determined by comparing the lengths of corresponding sides of the two triangles. To find the scale factor, divide the length of a side in triangle ABC by the length of the corresponding side in triangle XYZ. If all corresponding sides have the same ratio, that ratio is the scale factor for the triangles.
What is the name for the ratio of the length of one side of a figure to the length of the corresponding side of a similar figure?
scale factor
How is a scale factor related to scale drawings?
The scale factor of a scale drawing is the ratio of any length in the drawing to the true corresponding length in the "real" object.
What are similar solids?
similar shapes have corresponding angles that are equal. Also, any length in one shape is equal to the scale factor times the corresponding length in the other shape.
Abe acd find the scale factor?
To find the scale factor, you need to compare the corresponding sides of two similar figures. The scale factor is calculated by dividing the length of a side on the larger figure by the length of the corresponding side on the smaller figure. For example, if the larger figure has a side length of 8 units and the corresponding side on the smaller figure is 2 units, the scale factor would be 8 divided by 2, which equals 4.
