Question

Rectangle 1 has length x and width y. Rectangle 2 is made by multiplying each dimension of Rectangle 1 by a factor of k, where k > 0.
(a) Are Rectangle 1 and Rectangle 2 similar? Why or why not?
(b) Write a paragraph proof to show that the perimeter of Rectangle 2 is k times the perimeter of Rectangle 1.
(c) Write a paragraph proof to show that the area of Rectangle 2 is 2 k times the area of Rectangle 1.

Answer 1

I'm confused with what you're asking, but if it's in the form of "What should I do with this problem" I would choose C, Write a paragraph proof to show that the area of rectangle 2 is 2 k times the area of rectangle 1.

Answer 2

I think I have to all of three, I'm just no good at proofs

Answer 3

I would email the teacher to make sure, instead of doing all of them and possibly wasting my time.

Answer 4

um sorry you really didn't have to respond if it's "a waste of your time"

I don't think it's a multiple choice question I think it's saying to all three--unless you guys are reading it different and I have no idea how to prove what it's asking
