Are two rectangles always similar?
Two rectangles are seldom but sometimes similar. They can be but they don't have to.
If two rectangles are similar then the corresponding sides are?
If two rectangles are similar, they have corresponding sides and corresponding angles. Corresponding sides must have the same ratio.
How do you find the ratio of the perimeter of two similar rectangles?
The ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale factor. If rectangle #1 has sides L and W, then the perimeter is 2*L1 + 2*W1 = 2*(L1 + W1).If rectangle # 2 is similar to #1 and sides are scaled by a factor S, so that L2 = S*L1 and W2 = S*W1, the perimeter of rectangle #2 is 2*(L2 + W2)= 2*(S*L1 + S*W1) = S*2*(L1 + W1) = S*(perimeter of rectangle #1).
What is similar to a 2X3 rectangle?
Any rectangle whose sides are in the ratio 2:3. For example, in a 6x9 rectangle, the width (6) is two-thirds of the height (3), so it is similar to the 2x3 rectangle.
Are two rectangles similar always or sometimes?
they are sometimes similar because their angles are 90 degrees therefore their angles are proportianite
Are some rectangles similar?
no some rectangles cannot be similar. a rectangle is a shape with 2 = sides and then 2 more different = sides. it is impossible because if 2 rectangles were similar than that would not be a rectangle. similar means having corresponding sides no it is not possible
How do you fine the length in a similar rectangles?
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.
What is its the width of 2 rectangles that the areas are 15cm2 and 60cm2 the lengt of the first rectangle is 5cm?
I can give the width of one of the rectangles. The first rectangle of area 15 cm2 and length of 5 cm has width of 3 cm. It is impossible to know the width of the other rectangle of area 60 cm2. However, if you had said that the two rectangles were similar, then the dimensions of the second rectangle would be 10 cm X 6 cm. But you didn't say that the two rectangles were similar; so there are infinite possibilities of what the dimensions of the second rectangle might be.
How do you determine if rectangles are Simular?
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.
How do you find ratio of two rectangles?
If you are trying to find the ratio of the lengths of two similar rectangles, divide the length of one side of one rectangle by the corresponding side length of the other rectangle. To find the ratio between their volumes, divide the volume of one rectangle by the volume the other rectangle. To find volume, multiply the width of the rectangle by the length of the rectangle.
The length of rectangle A is 24 cm and the length of rectangle B is 96 cm The two rectangles are similar Find the ratio of the area of B to the area of A?

Is a 4X10 rectangle similar to a 5X8?
Two rectangles are similar if and only if their corresponding sides are in proportion. If 4/5 = 10/8, then (4)(8) = (5)(10), because in any proportion the product of the means equals the product of extremes. Since 32≠ 50, the corresponding sides of those rectangles are not in proportion, so that rectangles are not similar.
Are every two rectangles 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.
Are all rectangles similar?
No not all rectangles are similar because the proportions are different.
How is a rectangle and square similar?
they are both rectangles and thus have 4 sides and 4 right angles, but a square sides are all the same lengh
What would the ratio of a two rectangles be if one rectangles width is 24Cm and length 30Cm the other rectangle is width of 36 Cm length of 42 Cm?
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?
Are all rectangles never similar?
No, not all rectangles are similar because the proportions are different.
