It depends on whether the side length of 3 is the smaller or the larger of the two sides of the second rectangle. that is, is the 3 related to the 8 or the 17.

How do you find ratio of two rectangles?

If you are trying to find the ratio of the lengths of two similar rectangles, divide the length of one side of one rectangle by the corresponding side length of the other rectangle. To find the ratio between their volumes, divide the volume of one rectangle by the volume the other rectangle. To find volume, multiply the width of the rectangle by the length of the rectangle.


If two cylinders are similar and the ratio between the lengths of their edges is 2 5 what is the ratio of their volumes?

As volume is length x length x length, cube the ratio of the lengths, thus: Ratio of lengths = 2 : 5 ⇒ Ratio of volumes = 23 : 53 = 8 : 125


The ratio of the lengths of corresponding parts in two similar solids is 41 What is the ratio of their surface areas?

Area = length x length Therefore the ratio of areas of two similar objects is the square of the ratio of lengths. Lengths - 1 : 41 Areas - 12 : 412 = 1 : 1681


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?


How do you fine the length in a similar rectangles?

If you are given two similar rectangles, one with all measurements and the other with only one, you first need to find the conversion ratio. Let's call the rectangle that you know everything about, rectangle A, and the other rectangle B. You take the ratio of the side of rectangle B to rectangle A. You then multiply the length of rectangle A by this value, to find the length of rectangle B.


What is the ratio for the volumes of two similar pyramids given that the ratio of their edge lengths is 5 to 7?

The ratio is 57 cubed. This answer does not depend on the fact that you are comparing two similar pyramids; it works the same for two cubes, two spheres, etc. - in general, for any two similar 3D objects.


The length of rectangle A is 24 cm and the length of rectangle B is 96 cm The two rectangles are similar Find the ratio of the area of B to the area of A?

If two parallelograms are similar what do you know about the ratios of the two side lengths within one parallelograms and the ratios of the correspondingside lengths in the other parallelogram?

If and when two parallelograms are similar, you know that the ratio of two side lengths within one parallelogram will describe the relationship between the corresponding side lengths in a similar parallelogram. If and when two parallelograms are similar, you know that the ratio of corresponding side lengths in the other parallelogram will give you the scale factor that relates each side length in one parallelogram to the corresponding side length in a similar parallelogram.


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.


Is a 3x5 card a golden rectangle?

A golden rectangle is a rectangle whose side lengths are in the golden ratio, approximately 1:1.618. A 3x5 card has side lengths of 3 inches by 5 inches, which do not match the golden ratio. Therefore, a 3x5 card is not a golden rectangle.


The two solids are similar and the ratio between the lengths of their edges is 2 7 What is the ratio of their surface areas?

If the length ratio is 2:7 then the area ratio would be 4:49, squaring the 2 and the 7.


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.
