Ratios of sides.2C of areas.2C and of volumes Similarity (geometry)



the ratio between areas of similar figures equal square of ratio of corresponding lengths of figures (for example, when side of square or radius of circle multiplied three, area multiplied 9 — i.e. 3 squared). altitudes of similar triangles in same ratio corresponding sides. if triangle has side of length b , altitude drawn side of length h similar triangle corresponding side of length kb have altitude drawn side of length kh. area of first triangle is, = 1/2bh, while area of similar triangle a′ = 1/2(kb)(kh) = ka. similar figures can decomposed similar triangles have areas related in same way. relationship holds figures not rectifiable well.


the ratio between volumes of similar figures equal cube of ratio of corresponding lengths of figures (for example, when edge of cube or radius of sphere multiplied three, volume multiplied 27 — i.e. 3 cubed).


galileo s square–cube law concerns similar solids. if ratio of similitude (ratio of corresponding sides) between solids k, ratio of surface areas of solids k, while ratio of volumes k.
