If you are given two similar rectangles, one with all measurements and the other with only one, you first need to find the conversion ratio. Let's call the rectangle that you know everything about, rectangle A, and the other rectangle B. You take the ratio of the side of rectangle B to rectangle A. You then multiply the length of rectangle A by this value, to find the length of rectangle B.
If the 'ratio' (length/width) of one rectangle is the same number as (length/width) of the other one, then the two rectangles are similar.
Every rectangle is similar in that they both have 4 sides, they both have 4 angles, and they both have 2 sides equalling one length and the other 2 sides equalling a shorter length. Every two rectangles are similar in a way but they are not all exactly the same.
These are not similar rectangles so there is no obvious candidate for the ratio. Is it ratio of lengths (sides, perimeter, diameter), or ratio of area?
No not all rectangles are similar because the proportions are different.
No, not all rectangles are similar because the proportions are different.
Two rectangles are seldom but sometimes similar. They can be but they don't have to.

There are infinitely many such rectangles.
The factor pairs are the length and width of the rectangles.
Two rectangles are similar if corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sides are proportional.
