Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 16PT

Rectangular prisms are proportional

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Pair of rectangular prisms are

    Prism Length (m) Width (m) Height (m)
    A 2 5 7
    B 3 7.5 10.5

Formula Used:

When two figures are similar, their corresponding sides are proportional

Calculation:

Pair of rectangular prisms are given as

    Prism Length (m) Width (m) Height (m)
    A 2 5 7
    B 3 7.5 10.5

Find the ratio of sides of two rectangular prisms

  LengthALengthB=23

  WidthAWidthB=57.5=5075=23

  HeightAHeightB=710.5=70105=23

Since the sides of rectangular prism are proportional, therefore the prisms are proportional

Conclusion:

Hence, rectangularprisms are proportional
