Rectangle A is not similar to rectangle B because the ratio of length to width is different.

<h3>Ratios and proportions</h3>

A ratio means a comparison of two different quantities while proportion is an equality of two ratios.

Rectangle A:

Ratio of length to width = 10 : 4

= 10/4

= 5/2

= 5 : 2

Rectangle B:

Ratio of length to width = 5 : 8

Therefore, rectangle A is not similar to rectangle B because the ratio of length to width is different.
