A rectangle has a length of 25 cm and a width of 12.25 cm. A larger, similar rectangle has width 49 cm. What is the length of the larger rectangle?(1 point) Responses 100 cm 100 cm 24.01 cm 24.01 cm 98 cm 98 cm 4 cm
To find the length of the larger rectangle, we can use the concept of similarity.
Similar figures have corresponding sides that are proportional.
In this case, since the width of the larger rectangle is twice the width of the smaller rectangle, the length of the larger rectangle will also be twice the length of the smaller rectangle.
The length of the smaller rectangle is 25 cm.
Therefore, the length of the larger rectangle is 25 cm x 2 = 50 cm.
So, the correct answer is 50 cm.
