Question

Please Help
Determine whether the rectangles are similar. If so, write the similarity ratio and a similarity statement.
MN=9
MP=6

RS=15
RU=10

a.The similarity ratio is 3 over 5 and rectangle MNOP ~ rectangle RSTU.

b.Rectangles MNOP and RSTU are not similar.

c.The similarity ratio is 2 over 5 and rectangle MNOP ~ rectangle RSTU.

d.The similarity ratio is 2 over 3 rectangle MNOP ~ rectangle RSTU.

Answer 1

Well what is 9/15?
6/10?

Answer 2

And if they are the same value then they are similar rectangles

Answer 3

@jhonyy9 @DogzCatz I think the answer is B because 6 isn't divisible by 10 and 9 isnt divisible by 15

Answer 4

@Brill but 6 isn't divisible by 10 and 9 isn't divisible by 15

Answer 5

@Brill or am I thinking about it wrong

Answer 6

Well of course, you have to get a decimal value
OR
You can reduce the fractions of 6/10 and 9/15

Answer 7

Just because the answer isn't a whole number doesn't mean you can't divide

Answer 8

@Brill can you explain to me how to do it?

Answer 9

Well what numbers can you divide 9 by?

Answer 10

3 @Brill

Answer 11

@Brill so the answer would be A 3 over 5

Answer 12

Yup

Answer 13

Make sure it works with 6/10 too
Does that reduce to 3/5?
