Answer:

rectangles are similar figures, thus if scaled copies of each other then the ratios of corresponding sides must be equal

compare ratios of lengths and widths

rectangles A and B

k =  =  ← ratio of lengths

k =  =  ← ratio of widths

scale factors are equivalent, hence rectangle A is a scaled copy of B

rectangles C and B

k =  =  ← ratio of lengths

k =  =  ← ratio of width

scale factors (k ) are not equal, hence C is not a scaled copy of B

rectangles A and C

k =  =  ← ratio of lengths

k =  ← ratio of widths

the scale factors are not equal hence A is not a scaled copy of C

Estimate the perimeter of the figure to the nearest whole number.
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The perimeter (to the nearest integer) is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The upper half of this figure is a triangle with height 3 and base 6.  If we divide this vertically we get two congruent triangles of height 3 and base 3.  Using the Pythagorean Theorem we find the length of the diagonal of one of these small triangles:  (diagonal)^2 = 3^2 + 3^2, or (diagonal)^2 = 2*3^2.

Therefore the diagonal length is (diagonal) = 3√2, and thus the total length of the uppermost two sides of this figure is 6√2.

The lower half of the figure has the shape of a trapezoid.  Its base is 4.  Both to the left and to the right of the vertical centerline of this trapezoid is a triangle of base 1 and height 3; we need to find the length of the diagonal of one such triangle.  Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we get

(diagonal)^2 = 1^2 + 3^2, or 1 + 9, or 10.  Thus, the length of each diagonal is √10, and so two diagonals comes to 2√10.

Then the perimeter consists of the sum 2√10 + 4 + 6√2.

which, when done on a calculator, comes to 9.48.  We must round this off to the nearest whole number, obtaining the final result 9.
