Similarity: Question 3

Which rectangle is similar to a rectangle with length 40 cm and a
width 50 cm?

Select one:
-a rectangle with dimensions 50 cm and 60 cm

-any rectangle with perimeter 180 cm

-a rectangle with dimensions 2 cm and 2.5 cm

-a square with perimeter 180 cm

Answer 1

Answer: a rectangle with the dimensions 2 cm and 2.5 cm

Explanation:

for the rectangles to be similar, they don't have to be the same size, but the same shape.

Knowing this, 2 x 20 = 40 and 2.5 x 20 = 50

this shows they are similar.
