1. The two rectangles are similar. Which is the correct proportion for corresponding sides?
the two rectangles are 4 by 12 and 8 by 24. thanks!
the answers are
a. 12/8= 24/4
b.12/4 = 24/8
c. 12/4=8/24
d.4/12=24/8
no the answer was 12/4 = 24/8
someone pls answer
ok thank you thats what i got i need to answer one more than I will submit
12/4 = 24/8 is correct,
they are 3 = 3
To determine the correct proportion for corresponding sides of similar rectangles, we need to compare the ratios of corresponding side lengths of the two rectangles.
In this case, we have one rectangle with side lengths of 4 by 12 and another rectangle with side lengths of 8 by 24.
To find the correct proportion, we can compare the ratio of the corresponding side lengths of the two rectangles:
For the first pair of corresponding sides:
4/8 = 12/24
Simplifying this ratio, we get:
1/2 = 1/2
Therefore, the correct proportion for the first corresponding sides is 1/2 = 1/2.
Now, let's check the given options:
a. 12/8= 24/4 (Incorrect)
b. 12/4 = 24/8 (Correct)
c. 12/4=8/24 (Incorrect)
d. 4/12=24/8 (Incorrect)
Hence, the correct proportion for the corresponding sides of the given rectangles is b. 12/4 = 24/8.
To test if two ratios a/b or c/d are equal
a/b vs d/d
if ad = bd, they are equal
so just test each one
eg. is 12/4 = 8/24 ???
becomes is (12)(24) = (4)(8) , obviously false, so 12/4 ≠ 8/24
of course the obvious way would be reduce
each of the fractions to lowest terms
e.g.
is 12/8 = 24/4 ??
is 3/2 = 6/1 ??? , nope
will let you find the correct answer (I already did 2 of them)
