Scale Drawings: Find the Missing Side Length #1

Scale up your knowledge of scale factors with this engaging seventh-grade worksheet! These six problems challenge students to find a missing side length in a pair of similar polygons. Two pairs of corresponding side lengths for the polygons are given, and one side length of a third pair is given. Learners will need to  use the given side lengths to determine the scale factor and calculate the missing number. 

This worksheet is perfect for students working on their geometry skills and their understanding of ratios. As they complete this worksheet, students can practice using similarity in shapes and scale factors to find a missing value. Learners can use these skills not only in their continued math education, but also in their daily life!
