Rectangle P is 4, rectangle qi 3.6 area 8.Rectangle p and q are similar. If the area rectangle pis 8 what is the area of rectangle q
Since rectangles P and Q are similar, their corresponding sides are proportional.
Let's say the length of rectangle P is L, and the length of rectangle Q is l.
Then we can set up the following ratio:
L/l = 4/3.6
Simplifying this, we get:
L/l = 10/9
Now we can use this ratio to find the length of rectangle Q.
If the area of rectangle P is 8, then:
L x W = 8
Since we don't know the actual dimensions of rectangle P, we can use the ratio we found earlier to write:
(10/9)l x W = 8
Simplifying this:
l x W = 8 x (9/10)
l x W = 7.2
So the area of rectangle Q is 7.2.
