Question

Which best explains why these two figures are similar or not similar?

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Answer:

These two figures are similar because 5/3 equals 15/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

These figures are similar to each other, which means the side-lengths are proportional. Therefore:

$\frac{5}{9} = \frac{15}{9}$

Side-lengths 15 and 9 are proportional to 5 and 3 because the two fractions are equivalent; the larger rectangle is just 3 times larger.
