Sorry I don't understand. I think what you suggest is related to ratio, not to actual length, or am I mistaken?osilmag said:
The scale factor can be determined by dividing the length of a corresponding side in one figure by the length of the corresponding side in the other figure. This will give you a decimal value that represents the scale factor.
Yes, the scale factor can be greater than 1. This means that the similar figures are enlarged versions of each other.
To find the length of a side in a similar figure, you can multiply the length of the corresponding side in the original figure by the scale factor. This will give you the length of the corresponding side in the similar figure.
Similar figures have the same shape but may have different sizes, while congruent figures have the same shape and size. In similar figures, the corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sides are proportional, while in congruent figures, the corresponding angles and sides are equal.
Yes, you can find the length of a side in a similar figure if you know the scale factor and the length of the corresponding side in the original figure. You can multiply the length of the corresponding side by the scale factor to find the length of the corresponding side in the similar figure.
