Answer:

Yes, the ice hockey rinks are similar

Explanation:

The Olympic-sized ice hockey rink measures 30 meters by 60 meters. This means the measurement exist as one to ratio two. Mathematically it is represented as 1:2. This can be explained as one side measurement been double the size of the other side measurement. One side is 30 meters , the other side is 30 × 2 to get the measurement.

The Ice hockey rink at the local college has similar orientation with the Olympic ice hockey rink . one side is 25.5 meters , when you multiply that side(25.5 meters) by 2 you will get the other side which is 51 meters.

Generally, the similarity between the Olympic-sized ice hockey rinks and the local ice hockey rinks is that one side length is double the length of the other side.
