There are two rectangles what are the ratio of the first to the second?
I guess you mean the ratio of the areas; it depends if the 2 rectangles are "similar figures"; that is their matching sides are in the same ratio. If they are similar then the ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of the sides.
How can you tell whether two polygons are similar?
Polygons will be similar if they have the same number of sides AND all of their angles are the same. All of their angles are the same if all but one of their angles are the same because with the same number of sides the angles must add up to the same thing. All squares are similar (4 right angles and sides of equal lenght). All rectangles are similar (4 right angles). We know two triangle are similar if two or mare angles are the same, or if one angle is the same and the two adjacent sides are the same length. Variations of this last proof may apply to some other polygons.
How many rectangles are in a 5 by 4 grid?
To calculate the number of rectangles in a 5 by 4 grid, you can use the formula for the number of rectangles in an n by m grid, which is n*(n+1)m(m+1)/4. Plugging in the values for n=5 and m=4, you get 5*(5+1)4(4+1)/4 = 564*5/4 = 600/4 = 150 rectangles. So, there are a total of 150 rectangles in a 5 by 4 grid.
How many rectangles can be drawn with 38 cm as the perimeter?
There would be an infinite number of rectangles possible
Are all rectangles congruent Explain your answer?
yes, all rectangles are in fact congruent. they're all congruent because its a ratio of sizes. if u have a rectangle with a length of 5 and a width of 2.5, and an another rectangle with a length of 10 and a width of 5, u have a ratio of sixes. the ratio would be 1:2. hope it helps (:
