Answer 4

take the dimensions of two of the rectangles and make a proportion.

8/12 = 10/16

is that true? if it is, then they are similar

Answer 5

let me see. Wait, how'd you do that?

Answer 6

ohhh.

Answer 7

i did sort of the same thing except i put 16/10

Answer 8

if you do that, you have to put 16/10 = 12/8

Answer 9

hmm. Why? Don't the measurements from the same sides have to both be on the denominator/numerator?

Answer 10

yea, so both the short sides have to be on the bottom

Answer 11

oh.oh.oh.

Answer 12

i didn't know that

Answer 13

u mean both sides w/ large MEASUREMENTS have to b on the bottom?

Answer 14

it doesn't really matter. the corresponding sides have to be corresponding in the proportions as well. it doesn't really matter if they're on the top or bottom, so long as the corresponding side is too
