How do ratios of side lengths compare for similar triangles?
they both have the same ratios
What are the 3 basic trig ratios and how do they work?
The three basic ratios are sine, cosine and tangent.In a right angled triangle,the sine of an angle is the ratio of the lengths of the side opposite the angle and the hypotenuse;the cosine of an angle is the ratio of the lengths of the side adjacent to the angle and the hypotenuse;the tangent of an angle is the ratio of the lengths of the side opposite the angle and the the side adjacent to the angle.
Do you have to know three side lengths of a right triangle before you can use trig ratios to find the measure of an acute angle?

Give the definition of similar triangle?
Similar triangles means they have the same lengths OR the corresponding lengths have equal ratios.
What must the side lengths of two dimensional polygonal figures be if the figures are similar?
The side lengths of corresponding sides must all be in the same proportion to each other. So, for example, if you have a quadrilateral ABCD and you want to prove that it is similar to WXYZ, then you must show that all the side ratios are equal to each other. That is: AB/WX = BC/XY = CD/YZ = DA/ZW
