The two rectangles are similar. Which is the correct proportion for corresponding sides?

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

@jhonyy9 could you please help me ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

to side with length 4 m what will be the corresponding side with how many value of length ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

check please these images and try please anser my question so please collaborate

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

answer

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

sorry

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

huh why did you say sorry..? & 8 ..?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

bc. in place of answer i wrote above anser without w

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes exactly is 8

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@kimberlyevens sorry but i not can answering you just in this way bc. my submit button was blocked - so sorry but no ,i not readed it - sorry

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

would it be 12/4 and 8/ 24 ...or

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

i mean 24/8

OpenStudy (kimberlyevens):

okay np thank you @jhonyy9

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

or is it 12/8 and 24/4..?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

brook please firstly the 4 and 8 - how you write proportion of two numbers ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so will be 4 12 --- = ---- 8 24 after you simplifie these fraction what will get ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

4 4 --- = ---- = ? 8 2*4 do you know how and what can you simplifie there ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

simplifie the 4 from numerator with 4 from denominator so than what will get ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so this is equal 1/2 can you solve it the second one ? the 12/24

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

brook please collaborate

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

sorry .. andwhat goes with what ... does 4 and 24 go together or is one length from one triangle go with the other but both be on the same side ... do you get what I'm asking...?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so bc. to 4 correspond the side with 8 and to side with length 12 corespond the side with length 24 4/8 = 1/2 and so way 12/24 = 1/2 so from these result that the ratio or the corect proportion of coresponding sides will be 1/2 hope this is now really clearly understandably

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

but thats not an answer choice ..?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok so what are these choices please ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. so than you write inversed 8/4 = 24/12 than result 2 for correct proportion of coresponding sides

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

I can answer it ,if you can please explain what goes with what... as in this 12 24 ---- ---- 8 4 12 24 ----- ------ 4 8 12 8 ---- ------ 4 24 4 24 ---- ---- 12 8 does both length from the same triangle go togther or do you put the two lengths that are in the same spot but on different triangles together... do you know what I'm asking ..?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

looke please the little rectangle has sides length 4 and 12 so the proportion of these sides will be 4/12 - yes ? or you can invers it like 12/4 but than you need invers the second too than you see the biger rectangle there are side length of 8 and 24 so the proportion of these sides will be 8/24 so this inversed result 24/8 so now than you check after simplifie these fractions what will get like result of proportion value ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you see it now the right choice what will be ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

are you here ?

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

yes, I'm reading what you said

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. what is your answer - what choice ?

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

12 24 ---- ----- 4 8

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

these second pair of choices how you like these ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

exactly - do you understand it now - ? so how many is equal 12/4 and 24/8 ?

OpenStudy (brooklynnfaith98):

yes , thank you

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so np was my plesaure but please write me than what will be the correct proportion of corresponding dides ?
