Question

These two rectangles are similar. Which is a correct proportion for corresponding sides?

Answer 1

Answer:

option (2) is correct.

$\frac{4}{8}=\frac{12}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two similar rectangles and with dimension of sides,

we have to choose the correct proportion for corresponding sides.

Since, the rectangles given are similar rectangles.

So, the corresponding sides are in same proportion in case of similar figures,

So,  

$\frac{4}{8}=\frac{12}{x}$

Thus, option (2) is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac {12} {x} = \frac {4} {8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two similar rectangles with their side lengths.

We are to figure out whether which of the given options is the correct proportion for corresponding sides.

Since the rectangles are similar, so the corresponding sides will be on the same side.

Therefore, the correct answer option is $\frac {12} {x} = \frac {4} {8}$.
