Help please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess its t and s bcz the width are similar

@jim_thompson5910 @Hero @help123please.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

You need to find the dimensions of each rectangle

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Then you need to compare the ratio of each corresponding side length to see if you have similar rectangles or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910 How can I find the dimensions?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the dimensions are just the length and width

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by grids, if there is 1 grid, then u have 1 lenght or width

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so for example, the largest rectangle is 6 units wide (across the horizontal axis) and 7 units tall (across the vertical axis)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then Section T and Section S are the most similar geometric figures on the grid, correct? @Best_Mathematician @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what i said at the beggining

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

S is 1 unit by 1 unit T is 3 units by 1 unit

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the ratio for S is 1:1 the ratio for T is 3:1 they are NOT the same ratio

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so they cannot be similar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yaa...ya now u reminded me...similar figures are the one who have similar patters or similar dimensions, such as length and width

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

T has a ratio of 3:1 K has a ratio of 2:3 there's no way section T and K are similar either because no matter how you switch up the numbers, the two ratios are not equal

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you're just going down the list until you find the answer or have eliminated the non-answers
