A company is looking to design a new cover for their smartphone. The scale drawing of the design is shown below. The coordinates of the actual cover are: A' (22, 0); B' (0, 0); C' (0, 44); D' (22, 44). Is the design of the cover similar to the actual cover?
Yes; the corresponding sides are proportional. No; the corresponding sides are not proportional. Yes; the corresponding angles are proportional. No; the corresponding angles are not proportional.
If the design and the cover are similar quadrilaterals, then corresponding angles must be congruent and corresponding sides must be in proportion.
The cover is rectangular which means right angles and corresponding angles are congruent. The remaining question is whether the corresponding sides are proportional.
Determine if this is true and you will know if the corresponding sides are in proportion: Is 22/2 = 44/4 = 22/2 = 44/4 ? @♪Emoticon
