Scale Drawing of a Pentagon

A drawing that represents an object with accurate proportions, but reduced or enlarged in size.

The ratio between a side length of the original figure and the corresponding side length of the scale drawing.

An equation relating the side lengths of a scale drawing (y) to the corresponding side lengths of the original figure (x).

When the scale factor is greater than 1, the scale drawing is larger than the original figure.

When the scale factor is less than 1, the scale drawing is smaller than the original figure.

A process of finding the actual measurements of an object from a scale drawing.

A geometric shape with five sides.

A figure that has the same shape but different size as another figure.

The process of using a scale factor to calculate the dimensions of a missing side in a similar figure.

The value that represents the ratio between corresponding sides of similar figures.

To find the length of a side in a similar figure, multiply the corresponding side in the original figure by the scale factor.

To find the scale factor between two similar figures, divide any side length of one figure by the corresponding side length of the other figure.
