💡 Quick Review

Ratio, Similarity and Scale

Similar shapes have equal corresponding angles and proportional corresponding side lengths.

Key ideas

  • scale factor
  • similar shapes
  • maps and scale
  • rates
  • proportional reasoning

Worked example: scale factor 3 multiplies all corresponding lengths by 3.

Common trap: Areas scale by the square of the length scale factor.

Key words

similar — same shape with proportional sides
scale factor — multiplier between corresponding lengths
corresponding — matching parts
proportion — equal ratios
rate — comparison per unit
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 30 attempts on the same browser.
