Question

A computer monitor is a rectangle. The display resolution of Monica’s monitor is 240 pixels by 160 pixels. The display resolution of Eugene’s monitor is 320 pixels by 200 pixels. Is Monica’s monitor similar to Eugene’s monitor?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

If you multiply both the width and length of both monitors, you can see Monica's monitor is not similar to Eugene's at all.

Answer 2

Monica's monitor is not similar to Eugene's monitor.

Explanation:

It is given that the display resolution of Monica's monitor is 240 pixels by 160 pixels and the display resolution of Eugene's monitor is 320 pixels by 200 pixels.

Ratio of the lengths of Monica's monitor and Eugene's monitor = 240:320

= 3:4

Ratio of the heights of Monica's monitor and Eugene's monitor = 160:200

= 4:5

3:4 ≠ 4:5

Hence, Monica's monitor is not similar to Eugene's monitor.
