Question

Quadrilateral a has side lengths 2,3,5,and 6. Quadrilateral b has side lengths 4,5,8, and 10 could one of the cuadrilaterals be a scaled copy of yhe other?

Answer 1

No. The numbers do not share common factors.

Answer 2

Side length of Quadrilateral, a=2,3,5, and 6.

Side length of Quadrilateral, b=4,5,8 and 10

⇒Comparing the Ratio of the Corresponding Sides of two Quadrilateral a and b

`\rightarrow (2)/(4)\\eq(5)/(8)\\\\\rightarrow(3)/(5)=(6)/(10)`

As,the ratio of corresponding opposite sides are not equal.That is these two Quadrilateral are Not Similar.

So, We can say that , Quadrilateral b, is not scaled copy of Quadrilateral a.
