side length of first figure/ side length of second fig
OpenStudy (advert):
A ratio is the comparing of two quantities.
A proportion is an equation with a ratio on one side and an equal ratio on the other.
1/5 = 2/10 is an example of a proportion.
When two triangles are similar, they have the same angles and their sides will be in the same proportion.

its ok :)
OpenStudy (advert):
and if you forgot how to find the ratio
Ratios represent how one quantity is related to another quantity.
A ratio may be written as A:B or A/B or by the phrase "A to B".
A ratio of 1:5 says that the second quantity is five times as large as the first.
The following steps will allow a ratio to be determination if two numbers are known.
Example: Determine the ratio of 24 to 40.
Divide both terms of the ratio by the greatest common factor (24/8 = 3, 40/8=5)
State the ratio. (The ratio of 24 to 40 is 3:5)
OpenStudy (nikodriver):
it came as a decimal. is that ok?
OpenStudy (dayakar):
no need of doing decimal form write as it is
OpenStudy (nikodriver):
