Answer 2

Answer:

8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the width of rectangle B.

Since, both rectangles are similar.

Therefore, corresponding lengths and widths of rectangles A and B will be in proportion.

$\therefore \frac{20}{40} = \frac{4}{w} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{w} \\ \\ w = 2 \times 4 \\ \\ w = 8 \: inches$
