Answer:
Similar rectangles states that the corresponding sides are in proportion.
As per the statement:
Rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle WXYZ.
WX = 8 feet, AD = 12 feet and WZ = 16 feet.
Since. Rectangle ABCD and rectangle WXYZ are similar
then;
their corresponding sides are in proportion:
To find the value of AB:
Substitute the given values we have;
Multiply both sides by 8 we have;
Therefore, the value of AB is 6 units.
