Thank you for making me smile. I really needed it. :)

Aw, my pleasure! =D
So, do you understand how similarity works? You basically have something that's the same shape, but a different size. And what's cool about that is that it lets me figure out the dimensions of the one shape from the other.

Yes! So first, look at the corresponding parts that we know here to figure out the proportion that we have.
