What are Similar Figures?

The figures with the same shape are said similar when the sides of both the figures are in proportion.

Sara has a model of length = 18inches.

The original ship has a length is 160 ft

The width of the original ship is 32 ft

The model is a scaled-down version of the original figure and so the length and width of the model will be in the same proportion as the original dimensions.

Let x represents the width of the model then,

160/18 = 32/x

x = 32 * 18 / 160

x= 3.6 inches.

Therefore, the width of the model is 3.6 inches.
