The length of the second rectangle is 30cm

<h3>When are two rectangles said to be similar?</h3>

Two rectangles are similar when the corresponding adjacent sides have the same ratio. We do not need to check the angles as all angles in a rectangle are 90 degrees.

all rectangles are not similar rectangles. The ratio of the corresponding adjacent sides may be different.

length the length and width of first rectangle be L1 and W1 and length and width of second rectangle be L2 and W2

then the ratio of length should be equal to ratio of width since both rectangles are similar

L1/L2 = W1/W2

L1 = 21cm, W1 = 14cm, W2 = 20cm

21/L2 = 14/20

cross multiply

14L2 = 420

L2 = 420/14

L2 = 30cm

In conclusion the length of second rectangle is 30cm

a city that has an elevation of 15 meters is closer to sea level than a city with an elevation of -10 true or false? explain you
12345 [234]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

At sea level, elevation is 0. This means that we can portray sea level as being the midpoint of distances below sea level and distances above sea level.

Thus, a distance of 1 m below sea level = - 1 is equivalent to a distance of 1 m above sea level albeit in opposite directions.

Hence, an elevation of 15m above sea level is greater in distance Than an elevation of - 10 m below sea level because the absolute value of 15 is greater than the absolute value of 10.

|15 - 0|= 15

|-10 - 0| = 10

Hence, elevation of - 10 below Sea level is closer to sea level than elevation of 15 above sea level
