Scale Drawings: Find the Missing Side Length #2

Strengthen your skills with scale drawings in this useful worksheet! Learners will need to solve six problems involving similar shapes by finding a missing side length of one of the shapes. They will need to find the scale factor using corresponding sides of the shapes, using ratios to then calculate the value of the missing side. 

This seventh-grade worksheet is a fantastic resource for geometry and ratio practice. Learners will need to understand what it means for two shapes to be similar, then use that knowledge to make calculations that can involve multiple steps. These problems can also help students learn that scale factors less than one shrink shapes, while scale factors greater than one enlarge shapes.
