Question

a rectangle has a height to width ratio of 3 :4.5 give two examples of dimensions for rectangles that could be scaled versions of this rectangle

Answer 1

The required dimensions that can be scaled versions of given rectangle are:

Height = 12, Width=18

Height = 30, Width=45

Explanation:

Given that height to width ratio is:

3: 4.5

Any ratio equivalent to this or which simplifies to this ratio will be the scaled version of the given rectangle.

Remembering that both sides of the ratio can be multiplied with a number.

So,

The scaled versions can be:

`4(3):4(4.5)\\12:18\\AND\\10(3): 10(4.5)\\30:45`

The required dimensions that can be scaled versions of given rectangle are:

Height = 12, Width=18

Height = 30, Width=45
