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.
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?
Is the ratio of length to width for these two rectangles proportional?
To determine if the ratio of length to width for two rectangles is proportional, you need to compare the ratios of their lengths to widths. If the ratios are equal, then the rectangles are proportional. For example, if Rectangle A has a length of 10 units and a width of 5 units (ratio of 10:5 or 2:1), and Rectangle B has a length of 20 units and a width of 10 units (ratio of 20:10 or 2:1), then the rectangles are proportional because the ratios are equal.
Are 2 rectangles similar?
Only if they both have the same ratio of length to width. Since every square has the same ratio of length to width ( it's 1 ), all squares are similar. Gee, when you think about it, every regular polygon is similar to every other regular polygon with the same number of sides. I never realized that.
What can be concluded about a rectangles width if the ratio of length to perimeter is 1 to 3?
The width is half the length: The perimeter is twice the length plus twice the width. If the perimeter is 3 times the length, twice the width must be the length.
