Question

The two rectangles are similar. What is the ratio of the sides of the smaller rectangle to the corresponding sides of the larger rectangle?

Answer 1

it's 1:3

Explanation:

Answer 2

1:3 and 1:3

Explanation:

The ratio of the sides of the smaller rectangle to the corresponding sides of the larger rectangular are as follows:

The ratio of the heights of the smaller rectangle and the bigger rectangle is

`Ratio_1 = (4cm)/(12cm) = (1)/(12) = 1:3`

and the ratio of the lengths of the smaller rectangle and the bigger rectangle is

`Ratio_2 =(8cm)/(24cm) =(1)/(3) = 1:3`

Therefore, we have the ratio of 1: 3 for heights and 1:3 for lengths.
