Answer:

NO, they are not similar.

Explanation:

Width of rectangle J = 6 ft

Length of rectangle J = 9 ft

Width of rectangle K = 9 ft

Length of rectangle K = 12 ft

Find the ratio of their corresponding dimensions:

Ratio of their width = 6/9 = 2/3

Ratio of the length = 9/12 = 3/4

Their ratio of their corresponding dimensions are not equal. That is, their corresponding dimensions are not proportional to each other. Therefore, they are not similar.
