The correct option is c, which is A rectangle that is 5.4 in x 16.2 in.
<h3>Rectangle</h3>A rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel and equal to each other. Also, all the angles of the rectangle are equal to 90°.
Given
A cylindrical container that contains three tennis balls that are 2. 7 inches in diameter is lying on its side and passes through an x-ray scanner that scans from the top only.
As given, the cylinder is lying on its side, thus for the x-ray machine, the side will be the top of the cylinder. therefore, the cylinder will look like a rectangle, like the way it is shown below.
The diameter of 3 balls will be the length of the rectangle while the width will be the diameter of 1 ball.
Hence, the correct option is c, which is A rectangle that is 5.4 in x 16.2 in.

Similar triangles may or may not have congruent sides, but the ratio of the corresponding sides will always be congruent.
<u>(3) Corresponding sides of △MNP and △RST</u>
Given that △MNP ∼△RST.
This means that, the corresponding sides are:
- MN and RS
- MP and RT
- NP and ST
<u>(4) The equal measures</u>
Given that △ABC ∼△TUV
This means that, the corresponding angles are equal, but corresponding sides are not.
So, the equal measures are:
- (a). the measures of ∠A and ∠T
- (c). the ratios of the sides BC/UV and AC/TV
The unequal measure is:
- (b). the perimeters of the two triangles
<u>(c) Scale mapping</u>
The scale mapping is given as:
The above scale means that 1 inches on the scale represents 100 miles of the actual distance.
Take for instance, 5 inches would represent 500 miles.
500 is 5 times 100
Hence, the actual distance between two towns 100 times the map distance between the two towns
