Problem 2: Determining SimilarityAre the polygons similar? If they are, write a similarity statement and give the scale factor.

Scale Drawing: all lengths are proportional to their corresponding actual lengths

Scale: the ratio that compares each length in the scale drawing to the actual length

Example: 1 cm to 50 km 1 in : 10 ft

Problem 5: Using a Scale DrawingThe diagram shows a scale drawing of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The distance between the two towers is the main span. What is the actual length of the main span of the bridge (the length of the main span in the scale drawing is 6.4 cm).
