What is the ratio formed between two parallelograms one is 2 inches by 6 inches and the other is 6 inches by 18 inches?
ratio of what?
are the similar?
To find the ratio between the two parallelograms, we need to compare their corresponding sides.
The first parallelogram has sides measuring 2 inches and 6 inches, while the second parallelogram has sides measuring 6 inches and 18 inches.
Let's compare the lengths of the corresponding sides:
For the first parallelogram, the ratio of the lengths of the sides is 2:6, which simplifies to 1:3.
For the second parallelogram, the ratio of the lengths of the sides is 6:18, which simplifies to 1:3 as well.
Hence, the ratio formed between the two parallelograms is 1:3.
