Question

Use the figures below. What is the ratio of AD to JM? A.2/3B.6/5C.3/2

Answer 1

Given:

Rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle JKLM

From the first rectangle, we have:

AB = 15

DC = 6

From the second rectangle, we have:

JM = 10

ML = 5

We know that,

AD ~ JM

DC ~ ML

Thus, we have the ratio as:

`(AD)/(JM)=(DC)/(ML)`
`\begin{gathered} (AD)/(JM)=(15)/(10)=(3)/(2) \\ \end{gathered}`

Therefore the ratio of AD to JM is:

`(3)/(2)`

ANSWER:

`C\text{. }(3)/(2)`
