solving proportions/similar figures

Front

Solve for x: 3/4 = x/12

Back

x = 9

Front

Matching sides in similar figures are called?

Back

Corresponding Sides

Front

If two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides is 2:3. If one side of the first triangle is 8, what is the corresponding side in the second triangle?

Back

12

Front

Solve for x: 5/x = 15/9

Back

x = 3

Front

Find the missing side: If two similar rectangles have sides 4 and x, and the ratio of their sides is 1:2, what is x?

Back

8

Front

What is the definition of similar figures?

Back

Figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.

Front

If two angles are corresponding angles in similar figures, what can be said about their measures?

Back

They are equal.

Front

Solve for x: 2/x = 8/12

Back

x = 3

Front

If the lengths of two similar triangles are in the ratio 1:4, what is the ratio of their areas?

Back

1:16

Front

Find the missing side: If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF and AB = 6, DE = 9, find BC if EF = 12.

Back

BC = 8
