Question

write everything I know about similar figures. (what are they, how do you find the scale factor, how do you solve for x when given similar figures)

Answer 1

Answer:

Suppose you have two similar figures , one larger than the other. The scale factor is the ratio of the length of a side of one figure to the length of the corresponding side of the other figure. Here, XYUV=123=4 . So, the scale factor is 4 .Two figures are said to be similar if they are the same shape. In more mathematical language, two figures are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent , and the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. This common ratio is called the scale factor .
