What is a scale factor?

• Shapes that have the same shape, but not necessarily the same size.

• A ratio/number that compares the sizes of the parts of the scale drawings.

• They are sides that are in the same position in different plane figures.  

• The length of a side of a similar figure.

Tell whether the two figures are similar. Explain your reasoning.

• Yes, similar because they are the same shape and side lengths are proportional.

• No, not similar because they are the same shape, but side lengths are not proportional.

• Yes, same shape

• No, different sizes
