Similar rectangles have or form similar ratios. Hence to solve this, you have to get the ratio of the measurements:
Let N be the length of the similar rectangle
  5/7 = 15/N
5(N) = 7(15) -> cross multiply
  5N = 105
 5N/5 = 105/5 -> divide both sides of the equation by 5
    N = 21
Therefore, 21 meters in the length of the similar rectangle
To check - 
5/7 = 15/21 (cross multiply)
105 = 105

On a bicycle trail, the city is painting arrows like the one shown below: Upper pointing arrow with height of 15 and length of 1
Luden [163]

Answer:

229.5cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the area of the arrow we need to calculate the area of the body of the arrow, and then the head of the arrow. The body of the arrow is a rectangle meaning that the area (Ar) can be calculated by multiplying the length by the height like so...

Ar = l * h

Ar = 11cm * 12cm

Ar = 132 cm^{2}

Now we need to find the area of the head of the arrow, which is a triangle and therefore we can use the formula for the area of a triangle (At) which is height times base divided by 2...

At = \frac{h * b}{2}

At = \frac{15cm * 13cm}{2}

At = \frac{195cm^{2} }{2}

At = 97.5cm^{2}

Now we simply add both areas together to calculate the total area of the arrow...

132cm^{2} + 97.5cm^{2} = 229.5cm^{2}
