Yes, the two rectangles are similar, because rectangle 2 is a dilation of rectangle 1.

<h3>Are the two rectangles similar?</h3>

We know that rectangle 1 has dimensions L and W.

And rectangle 2 is made by multiplying the dimensions of rectangle 1 by a factor k > 0.

Then, rectangle 2 is just a dilation of rectangle 1, this means that in fact, the two rectangles are similar by definition.

Then:

Dimensions of rectangle 1:

  • Length = L
  • Width = W.
  • Perimeter = 2*(W + L)
  • Area = W*L

For rectangle 2:

  • Length = k*L
  • Width = k*W
  • Perimeter = 2*(k*L + k*W) = k*(2*(L + W))
  • Area = (k*L)*(k*W) = k²(L*W)

Above we can see that the perimeter of rectangle 2 is k times the perimeter of rectangle 1, and the area of rectangle 2 is k squared times the area of the rectangle 1.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

52\pi \text{ cm}^2\approx 162.11\text{ cm}^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a label wraps around soup can with a radius of 4.3 cm and a height of 6 cm. We are asked to find the lateral surface area of the label of the soup can in square centimeters.

We will use lateral surface area of cylinder to solve our given problem as:

LA=2\pi rh, where,

r = Radius of cylinder,

h = height of cylinder.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

LA=2\pi \times\text{4.3 cm}\times \text{6 cm}

LA=51.6\pi \text{ cm}^2

LA=162.10618\text{ cm}^2

Therefore, the lateral surface area of the label of the soup is approximately 162.11 square cm.
