FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you find the measure of an angle in a triangle given the ratio of the angles?

Back

To find the measure of an angle, first determine the total parts of the ratio, then divide 180° by the total parts to find the value of one part, and multiply by the number of parts for the angle.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, and AB = 6 cm, DE = 9 cm, what is the scale factor?

Back

The scale factor is 3/2 or 1.5, since 9 cm (DE) divided by 6 cm (AB) equals 1.5.
