Question

Besa brings 2 boxes of chocolates. Each box has a painting on the front. The picture in the 320 g box has the shape of a rectangle with dimensions 102mm by 170mm. The painting on the 480g box is sized 140mm by 226mm. Show that the two rectangles are not congruent similarly.​

Answer 1

The short side of one box divided by the short side of the other box must equal the long side of one box divided by the long side of the other box. If the results are the same, they are proportional, if not, they are not proportional

`(102)/(140) = 0.72 \\\\(170)/(226) = 0.75`
