Answer: No, the page content of the atlas cannot be replicated on the eReader.

Please check explanations below for solution to question (b)

Step-by-step explanation: The dimensions of the eReader screen is given as 8 inches by 6 inches. In order to move a rectangular shape such as the atlas onto it would require the same measurements or, a measurement that has the same ratio as both the length and width of the screen, but a reduced size.

This brings us to similar shapes. When two shapes (rectangles in this case) are similar, it simply means there is a common ratio between the corresponding sides, that is the length and the width. If rectangle 1 has its side measuring 8 inches, then rectangle 2 would have the corresponding side having a common ratio with that of rectangle 1. This means the corresponding side in rectangle 2 can either be an enlargement (which would mean 8 times a scale of enlargement) or a reduction (which means 8 divided by a scale of reduction).

In the question given, the eReader screen has dimensions of 8 inches by 6 inches. The atlas has dimensions given as 19 inches by 12 inches. By observation we can see that the width of the atlas is times 2 of the screen. The length of the atlas however is not times 2 of the screen. That is;

Ratio = Rectangle 1 : Rectangle 2

Ratio of Width = 6 : 12

Ratio of Width = 1 : 2

Likewise

Ratio of Length = 8 : 19

Ratio of Length ≠ 1: 2

This proves that the atlas cannot be scaled down to fit properly into the screen. A solution to make this possible would be to resize the length of the atlas to become times 2 of the eReader screen. This would result in the atlas having new dimensions given as

Length = 16 inches

Width = 12 inches

This would ensure that both rectangular shapes are similar and the atlas can now be scaled down by a factor of 2 to fit in properly into the eReader screen.
