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?

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


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.
