Val owns a hardware store. The floor plan drawn on the coordinate grid below shows its five different sections.

Val calculates the ratio of length and width of each section drawn on the grid and concludes that two sections are similar. Which two sections appear as similar geometric figures on the grid?

This one is not too hard.  For each of the rectangles write down
width x length
Example: K is 2 x 5

then look for a pair that are scaled versions:
for example if you found  2x3  and 6x9  (the second is 3 times larger than the first)

P,D!

phi · Answer

P  is 1x4
D is 2 x 6
P*2 = 2x 8  not equal to 2x6

phi · Answer

I hope I did not confuse you when I say P*2  what I mean is scale BOTH the length and the width by 2.  You get the same shape, but bigger.

i found the answer it's DL

phi · Answer

Yes. L is 1x3 and D is 2x6
You are getting good at this.
