Which of the following rectangles is similar to a rectangle that measures 12 units by 16 units?
A/18x24
B/9x14
C/6x10
D/16x20
Which of the following rectangles is SIMILAR to a rectangle that measures 5 units by 12 units?
Name the lengths of the sides of three rectangles with a perimeter of 12 units. Use only whole numbers
To determine which of the given rectangles is similar to a rectangle measuring 12 units by 16 units, you need to compare the ratio of the sides.
The ratio of the sides of the given rectangle is 12:16, which simplifies to 3:4.
Let's check each option to determine the ratios:
A) 18:24 = 3:4 - This rectangle has the same ratio as the given rectangle.
B) 9:14 - This ratio is not the same as the given ratio, so this rectangle is not similar.
C) 6:10 - This ratio is not the same as the given ratio, so this rectangle is not similar.
D) 16:20 = 4:5 - This ratio is not the same as the given ratio, so this rectangle is not similar.
Therefore, option A/18x24 is the rectangle that is similar to the rectangle measuring 12 units by 16 units.
since 12/16 = 18/24 = 3/4
so the answer is A. 18x24
