Answer:
The side lengths of two similar triangles are proportional. That is, if ΔUVW is similar to ΔXYZ , then the following equation holds: UVXY=UWXZ=VWYZ. This common ratio is called the scale factor . The symbol ∼ is used to indicate similarity.

Answer:
When two triangles are similar, the reduced ratio of any two corresponding sides is called the scale factor of the similar triangles. In Figure 1 , Δ ABC∼ Δ DEF. ... The ratios of corresponding sides are 6/3, 8/4, 10/5. These all reduce to 2/1. It is then said that the scale factor of these two similar triangles is 2 : 1.
