Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.
To determine the scale factor calculate the ratio of corresponding sides, that is
=
= 
Answer:
look at my explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the area of two sides (Length*Height)*2 sides. Find the area of adjacent sides (Width*Height)*2 sides. Find the area of ends (Length*Width)*2 ends. Add the three areas together to find the surface area
I would subtract the 2nd from the first one
so -4x - -2x = -2x
4y - 4y = 0
-20 - -2 = -18
-2x = -18
now I would divide that by -2 to get the value for x
so no we have x = 9
now you just have to substitute that into one of the equations and simplify to get y
-2 X 9 + 4y = -2
-18 + 4y = -2
4y =16
y = 4
The Constant Of Proportionality is 45.2
