Question

Kyra is using rectangular tiles of two types for a floor design. A tile of each type is shown below: Two rectangular tiles, rectangle PQRS with vertices at P 5, 7. Q is at 9, 7. R is at 9, 12. S is at 5, 12 . Rectangle JKLM with vertices J 4, 5. K is at 6, 5. L is at 6, 10. M is at 4, 10. Which statement is correct? The two tiles are not similar because segment PQ is to segment QR is 4:5 and segment JK is to segment LM is 2:1. The two tiles are not similar because segment SP is to segment SR is 5:4 and segment MJ is to segment ML is 5:2. The two tiles are similar because segment PQ is to segment QR is 4:5 and segment JK is to segment KL is also 4:5. The two tiles are similar because segment SR is to segment ML is 2:1 and segment PQ is to segment JK is also 2:1.

Answer 1

Hello,
Please, see the attached file.
Thanks.

Answer 2

The statement which is correct is the second option which is the two tiles are not similar because segment SP is to segment SR is 5:4 and segment MJ is to segment ML is 5:2. SP/SR=5/4 and MJ/Ml=5/2
