What is a rectangle?

A parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle. A rectangle is always a parallelogram and a quadrilateral but the reverse statement may or may not be true.

Two rectangles are always similar figures, therefore, the ratio of the corresponding sides of the two rectangles is in a common ratio.

The large rectangle was reduced to create the small rectangle. And the large rectangle has a length of 18 inches and width of 12 inches, while the smaller rectangle has a length of 6 inches and width of x inches.

Therefore, the ratio of the two rectangles can be written as,

18 inches /6 inches = 12 inches / x

x = (12×6)/18

x = 4 inches
