This is relatively simple then-  Do you know the distance formula?

anonymous · Answer

Yes D= (X2-X1)^2 + (Y2-Y1)^2

anonymous · Answer

Great!  Now just use that formula to determine the edges of the rectangles (length and width only, but for both).  Similarity just means they have a common ration.  for instance 15:5 is similar 3:1

anonymous · Answer

So jsut check for a common ratio after you have the measurements.
