Scaled Copies

Front

What is a scaled copy?

Back

A scaled copy is a shape that is the same shape but different sizes.

Front

Identify the corresponding side length in scaled copies: If MQ corresponds to AE, what does AE represent?

Back

AE is the side length in Figure 1 that corresponds to MQ in Figure 2.

Front

What is the scale factor from Triangle L to Triangle S if they are scaled copies?

Back

The scale factor from L to S is 1/2.

Front

Which angle corresponds to Angle CBA in scaled copies?

Back

Angle CBA corresponds to Angle RQP.

Front

If the length of a side in a small triangle is missing, how do you find it?

Back

You can find the missing side length by using the scale factor and the lengths of corresponding sides.

Front

What does it mean for two shapes to be similar?

Back

Two shapes are similar if they have the same shape but different sizes.

Front

How do you determine the scale factor between two similar shapes?

Back

The scale factor is determined by dividing the length of a side of one shape by the length of the corresponding side of the other shape.

Front

If Triangle A has sides of length 4, and Triangle B has sides of length 8, what is the scale factor from A to B?

Back

The scale factor from Triangle A to Triangle B is 2.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding angles in scaled copies?

Back

Corresponding angles in scaled copies are equal.

Front

If a triangle is scaled down by a factor of 1/3, what happens to the lengths of its sides?

Back

The lengths of the sides are reduced to one-third of their original lengths.
