Answer:
The similar figures are shown in the attached drawing created with Microsoft Visio;
The similar figures are the rectangles in figures 2, and 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The given figure is a rectangle with dimensions of 3 yd. by 9 yd., therefore the length = 3 × The width of the rectangle
1) The 9 yd. by 18 yd. figure is a rectangle with the length = 2 × The width of the rectangle, therefore, the figure is not similar to the given rectangle
2) The 3 yd. by 1 yd. figure is a rectangle with the width = 3 × The length of the rectangle, therefore, the figure is similar to the given rectangle
3) The figure is a trapezium, while the given figure is a rectangle, therefore, they are not similar
4) The 6 yd. by 3 yd. figure is a rectangle with the width = 2 × The length of the rectangle, therefore, the figure is not similar to the given rectangle
5) The 6 yd. by 18 yd. figure is a rectangle with the length = 3 × The width of the rectangle, therefore, the figure is similar to the given rectangle
6) The 2 yd. by 8 yd. figure is a rectangle with the length = 4 × The width of the rectangle, therefore, the figure is not similar to the given rectangle
I think with the kinds of mixture problems, it's really helpful to make a table.
