Answer the following questions on YOUR blog as a post. Use the same title as mine for your post. Write your answers in complete sentences! An easy way to do this is to copy and paste the questions below onto your post and then put your answers in a different color!1) What has to be the same in order for two parallelograms to be similar?2) Describe a way to find a missing side length in a pair of similar figures.3) I have a small isosceles triangle with a base of 3 inches and other sides are 4 inches.I want to create a similar isosceles triangle with a base of 7.5 inches.What should the other side lengths be and why?
1)The angles and the scale factor.
2)You find the scale factor and on the one with the number times it by the scale factor to get the side lengths.
3)The other side lengths would be 8inches because the scale factor is 2 so you make the side lengths 2 times bigger.
