Answer 1

Given:

Two similar rectangles.

To find:

The area of the larger rectangle.

Solution:

Let x be the other side of the larger rectangle.

Corresponding sides of similar figures are always congruent.

$\dfrac{x}{1}=\dfrac{4}{2}$

$x=2$

The other side of larger rectangle is 2 cm.

We know that, area of rectangle is

$Area=Length\times Width$

So, area of the larger rectangle is

$Area=4\times 2$

$Area=8$

Therefore, the area of the larger rectangle is 8 sq. cm.
