Scale Factor- Number I multiply side length or perimeter by to get similar figure
Side Length- in proportion smaller side length x scale factor= bigger side length
Perimeter- small perimeter x scale factor= bigger perimeter
Area- bigger shape side lengths are a multiple of smaller shape side lengths
If my original area is 3 and my scale factor is 2 (twice as big), how can I figure out what that new area is?
If my original area is 6 and I have a scale factor of 3(3 times as big), how can I figure
Rule: original area x (scale factor)^2 = bigger area
(scale factor)^2= scale factor x scale factor
