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.


Are two rectangles always sometimes or never similar?

Two rectangles are always similar. Similarity in geometry means that two shapes have the same shape but may differ in size. Since rectangles have the same angles (all right angles) and their corresponding sides are in proportion, any two rectangles can be considered similar regardless of their dimensions.

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?

Yes


Are all rectangles similar?

No not all rectangles are similar because the proportions are different.


How to know if two rectangles are similar if you are given boths legnth sides((RECT1 L.S 3CM& S.S2CM)(RECT2 L.S 2CM& S.S1CM)) of these two rectangles?

#1 ; 3:2 overa;; ratio is 1.5 : 1 #2 ; 2:1 overall ration is 2:1 Hence triangles are NOT similar.


Are all rectangles never similar?

No, not all rectangles are similar because the proportions are different.


Is two rectangles in which the diagonal in one is twice as long as the other always similar?

yes


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.


Are two rectangles similar always or sometimes?

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