The figures are similar. Place each rectangle's sides as fraction, and make them equal to each other
18/27 = 6/x
cross multiply
18(x) = 6(27)
Multiply
18x = 162
Isolate the x. Divide by 18
18x/18 = 162/18
x = 9
To calculate the area, multiply 9 with 6
9 x 6 = 54
(A) 54 is your answer

1 inch = 15 feet
1/4(15) = 3.75 in.
1/3(15) = 5
The actual dimensions are B) 3.75 ft by 5 ft
