Problem 391

Give the dimensions of rectangles MNOP and XYTZ so that both are similar to rectangle ABCD.

rectangle

 

Solution

For rectangle ABCD and MNOP

\frac{6}{16} = \frac{MP}{8}

MP = \frac{6*8}{16}

MP = 3

For rectangle ABCD and XYTZ

\frac{6}{16} = \frac{9}{ZT}

ZT = \frac{9*16}{6}

ZT = 24
