Answer:

Not similar

Explanation:

For a rectangle you would make a equation with length a over length b equalibg width a over width b. I'll use the problem and show it in an equation below.


(12)/(24) = (8)/(18)

There are a few ways to solve this, 1, by simplifying, and the other cross multiplying. I like cross multiplying more, so I'll explain it like that. To cross multiply you multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other.


12 * 18 = 216 \\ 24 * 8 = 192

Because these values are not equal, the rectangles are not similar.
