Question

If two similar rectangles have corresponding sides with a ratio of 2:3, what is the

Answer 1

Answer:

4:9 ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sides cannot be the same because it is a rectangle, therefore there is a width and length.

For the width, which is the shortest side, we will keep the radius as it is, that is, for rectangle 1 it will be 2 and for rectangle 2 it will be 3.

For the length, which is the longest side, we multiply the radius by two, which means that rectangle 1 will be 4 (2 * 2) and for rectangle 2 it would be 6 (2 * 3)

If we calculate the area it would be:

rectangle 1:

2 * 4 = 8

rectangle 2:

3 * 6 = 18

Which means that the radius is 8/18 = 4/9
