Assignment: Scale Investigation Part 1 Each of the orange triangles above is a dilation of one of the green triangles. Match eac
h triangle to its corresponding similar green triangle and scale factor: Part 2 1. Explain how you can verify the scale factor for each pair of similar figures. 2. Choose two similar triangles from the set of triangles. a. Use a ruler to measure all three lengths of one triangle but only two lengths of the other. Sketch the triangles below and label the 5 lengths measured. b. Explain how you can use the fact that the triangles are similar to determine the length of the remaining side of the other triangle without measuring it. Part 2 1.
