1) What has to be the same in order for two parallelograms to be similar?2) Describe a way to find a missing side length in a pair of similar figures.3) I have a small isosceles triangle with a base of 3 inches and other sides are 4 inches.I want to create a similar isosceles triangle with a base of 7.5 inches.What should the other side lengths be and why?

1)the angles and the scale factor have to be the same for two parallelograms to be similar.
2)a way to find the missing side lengths is to find the scale factor and then divide the scale factor.
3)you would do 7.5 divided by 3 and you wouls get 2.5 so that would be the scale factor so the side lengths would be 10 because 4 multiplied by 2.5 is 10.
