How are rectangles related to the distributive property?

Rectangles are related to the distributive property because you can divide a rectangle into smaller rectangles. The sum of the areas of the smaller rectangles will equal the area of the larger rectangle.


There are two rectangles what are the ratio of the first to the second?

I guess you mean the ratio of the areas; it depends if the 2 rectangles are "similar figures"; that is their matching sides are in the same ratio. If they are similar then the ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of the sides.

What is the width of two similar rectangles are 45 yd and 35 yd what is the ratio of the perimeters of the areas?

The ratio of their perimeters is also 45/35 = 9/7. The ratio of their areas is (9/7)2 = 81/63


What is the definition of a scale factor?

The ratio of any two corresponding similar geometric figures lengths in two . Note: The ratio of areas of two similar figures is the square of the scale factor. The ratio of volumes of two similar figures is the cube of the scale factor. .... (: hope it helped (: .....

What is its the width of 2 rectangles that the areas are 15cm2 and 60cm2 the lengt of the first rectangle is 5cm?

I can give the width of one of the rectangles. The first rectangle of area 15 cm2 and length of 5 cm has width of 3 cm. It is impossible to know the width of the other rectangle of area 60 cm2. However, if you had said that the two rectangles were similar, then the dimensions of the second rectangle would be 10 cm X 6 cm. But you didn't say that the two rectangles were similar; so there are infinite possibilities of what the dimensions of the second rectangle might be.


What does scale factor of two similar figures tell you about area?

If the sides of two shapes have a scale factor of sf:1, then their areas will be in the ratio of sf2: 1.
