If two objects have the same shape, they are called "similar." When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles shown are similar, compare their corresponding sides.

How do you find depth of a rectangle given the widthlength and area?

Rectangles don't have depth. If your figure has three dimensions, divide the area by the product of the two dimensions you know. The quotient will be the third dimension.

How do you figure the dimensions of an area?

First of all is to know what the shape is. Every geometrical shape/figure have their unique dimensions that maches the given area. Next thing to know is that if it is a circle or a regular polygon then the dimensions can be computed given only the area. example: circle: Area = pi R^2 therefore R = sqrt(Area/pi) square: Area = (side)^2 therefore Side = sqrt(area) If it is not a circle or a regular polygon then knowing just the area is insufficient to find the dimensions. You will need to know more details. example: for a rectangle: you need to know at least a side or the length of the diagonal maybe.

What at the dimensions of a portable air compressor?

First you should find out the dimensions of your pick up truck, and then find the dimensions of an individual portable air compressor. Then, with some simple math (truck dimensions divided by the measurements of one air compressor), you'll know how many air compressors you can fit into the pickup truck.
