Question

Rectangle A has length 12 and width 8. Rectangle B has length 15 and width 10. Rectangle C has length 30 and width 15.Explain how you know that Rectangle C is not a scaled copy of Rectangle B.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Because the ratio of length:width is..

15:10 for b

and

30:15 for c.

Now we will divide..

3:2 for b

and

2:1 for c.

Those are NOT the same things!
