Draw a diagram of a right trapezoid . 
<span>B ---------------- C </span>
<span>.| ............ ............ * </span>
<span>.| ............ ............ ..... * </span>
<span>A --------------- -------------- D </span>
<span>Longer diagnal BD = 13cm </span>
<span>Longer base AD = 12cm </span>
<span>Shorter base BC = 8cm </span>
<span>Angle A is 90° , so △BAD is a right triangle . </span>
<span>AB^2 + AD^2 = BD^2 </span>
<span>AB^2 + 12^2 = 13^2 </span>
<span>AB^2 + 144 = 169 </span>
<span>AB^2 = 25 </span>
<span>AB = 5 </span>
<span>So the area of trapezoid ABCD is (12+8)*5/2 = 50 [cm^2] .</span>

Write them out as a fraction then reduce them. If theyre the same then its proportional.

25/45 can be cancelled down to 5/9

15/27 can be cancelled down to 3/9

So no theyre not.
