Let's look at the corresponding ratios:

And we see that the three aren't equal.
Hence, $\Delta ABC$ and $\Delta EDC$ are not similar.
Given : A rectangular picture frame has a perimeter of 52 inches. The height of the frame is 12 inches.
To Find : The width of the frame .
Solution : Let us take the width of the frame be x . So , we know the formula to find the perimeter of rectangle as ;

Where , l is the length of the rectangle and b is the breadth of the rectangle .
⇒ Perimeter = 2 ( l + b ) .
⇒ 52 in. = 2 ( 12 + x ) in.
⇒ 52 in.= 24in. + 2x .
⇒ 2x =( 52 - 24 ) in
⇒ 2x = 28 in.
⇒ x = 28/2 in.
⇒ x = 14 in.
<u>Henc</u><u>e</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>width</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>recta</u><u>ngle</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>inches</u><u>.</u>
If it's a perfect square, then it's easy. However, if it's not a perfect square, use the square root button on your calculator. IF you happen to know calculus then you could use Newton's Method....but I'm thinking you're not there yet. So stick with the calculator.
