All rectangles which have sides in the ratio 10:15 would be similar. This would include 2 x 3, 4 x 6, 100 x 150, etc. Note that similarity in rectangles is very simple, since all interior angles are by definition right angles.

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.
how are trapezoids and rectangles
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
If two similar rectangles have the widths 16m and 14cm what is the ratio of the perimiters?
You can use ratios of adjacent sides to prove if two rectangles are similar by comparing to see if the ratios are the same
