Answer:

Rectangle A is not a scale drawing.

Rectangle B is a scale drawing.

Explanation:

A scale drawing involves ratios.

Rectangle A:

10cm is double the original 5cm giving us a 1 : 2 ratio.

However, 25cm is not double the original 20cm. This means that this rectangle is not to scale of the given rectangle.

Rectangle B:

10cm is double the original 5cm giving us a 1 : 2 ratio once again.

This time however, 40cm is double the original 20cm. This means that this rectangle is a scale drawing of the given rectangle.

~Hope this Helps!~
