Card 0 of 4
A parallelogram has adjacent sides with the lengths of 
and 
. Find a pair of possible adjacent side lengths for a similar parallelogram.
A parallelogram has adjacent sides with the lengths of
Since the two parallelogram are similar, each of the corresponding sides must have the same ratio.
The solution is:
, (divide both numbers by the common divisor of 
).
Since the two parallelogram are similar, each of the corresponding sides must have the same ratio.
The solution is:

Since the two parallelogram are similar, each of the corresponding sides must have the same ratio.
The ratio of the first parallelogram is:
Applying this ratio we are able to find the lengths of a similar parallelogram.
Since the two parallelogram are similar, each of the corresponding sides must have the same ratio.
The ratio of the first parallelogram is:
Applying this ratio we are able to find the lengths of a similar parallelogram.
