Hi! So i have no clue how to do similar figures. I am in 8th grade math, and am doing similar figures, but don't how. I have a few examples. A rectangular garden is 45 ft wide and 70 ft long. On a blueprint, the width is 9 in. Identify the length on the blueprint. Possible answers:

7 in
9 in
12 in
14 in

So, going from 45 ft to 9 inches, if we try 45/9=5.
So our to find out length we can simply divide 70/5= 14 in .
Hopefully that makes sense!
The answer is 14 in.
Please ask for further details if you need help
