Key Topics to Revise
Understanding Similarity and Proportional Change
- When images are resized, they look similar only when both width and height change by the same factor
- If dimensions change by different factors, the image appears distorted
- Proportional change means all related quantities change by the same multiplication factor
Ratios and Their Properties
- A ratio a:b means for every 'a' units of first quantity, there are 'b' units of second quantity
- The numbers in a ratio are called terms of the ratio
- Ratios can be simplified by dividing both terms by their HCF
Proportion and Cross Multiplication
- Two ratios are in proportion if they are equal in their simplest forms
- Proportion is written as a:b::c:d (read as 'a is to b as c is to d')
- For proportional ratios, ad = bc (cross multiplication property)
Problem Solving with Proportional Reasoning
- Identify what quantities are related proportionally in word problems
- Set up the proportion with consistent units
