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 know if two rectangles are similar?

Two rectangles are similar if corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sides are proportional.


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.

If two similar rectangles have the widths 16m and 14cm what is the ratio of the perimiters?


How can you use ratios of adjacent sides to prove if two rectangles are similar?

You can use ratios of adjacent sides to prove if two rectangles are similar by comparing to see if the ratios are the same


Can two rectangles be neither similar nor congruent?

Are two rectangles similar always or sometimes?

they are sometimes similar because their angles are 90 degrees therefore their angles are proportianite


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.
