Match the corresponding sides and Loading of similar polygons
Apply an appropriate scale to enlarge or reduce a diagram
Determine the scale factor for pairs of similar polygons and Loading
Apply knowledge of scale factor to find unknown sides in similar polygons
Solve problems involving unknown lengths and scale factors of similar figures and related practical problems
Solve problems involving scale drawings, with or without digital tools
