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

Your Turn: Using the figure, a
yawa3891 [41]
The first thing you should see in this case is that the triangles are proportional.
 We have then that:
 ((a) / (c)) = ((d) / (a))
 Step 1:
 Go a multiplying:
 ((a) / (c)) * (a) = (d)
 Step 2:
 Pass c multiplying:
 (a) * (a) = (d) * (c)
 Step 3:
 Same basis, exponents are added:
 a ^ (1 + 1) = (d) * (c)
 Step 4:
 a ^ 2 = c * d
 Finally
 ((a) / (c)) = ((d) / (a)) -------> a ^ 2 = c * d

0.02 in scientific notation with negative powers of 10
Firdavs [7]
2 x 10⁻²

I place ⁻² as the negative powers of ten because I counted two places from the original position of the decimal to the number 2. The direction from the decimal is going to the right.

The negative or positive powers of ten determined by the direction of the decimal point. If it moves to the right then it is negative. If it move to the left then it is positive.

For example.  2000 in scientific notation.
The decimal point is located after the 3rd zero. According to the rule of scientific notation, only one digit must remain before the decimal point, Thus, 2000 is 2.000
The decimal point moved three place to the left from its original position. So its power of ten is positive three.

2000 = 2 x 10³
