Kyra is using rectangular tiles of two types for a floor design. A tile of each type is shown below:

Which statement is correct?

The two tiles are not similar because segment SP is to segment SR is 5:1 and segment MJ is to segment ML is 2:3.
The two tiles are similar because segment PQ is to segment QR is 1:3 and segment JK is to segment KL is also 1:3.
The two tiles are similar because segment SR is to segment SP is 3:2 and segment ML is to segment MJ is also 3:2.
The two tiles are not similar because segment PQ is to segment QR is 1:6 and segment JK is to segment KL is 1:3.

Start by figuring out the dimensions of each of the two tiles illustrated.

superwholock221 · Answer

the big one is 6 on both sides and 2 on top and bottom and the little one is 3 on both sides and 1 on top and bottom

kinged · Answer

Now divide the dimensions of each rectangle alone. Are they similar?
