2 rectangles are similar. Which is a correct proprtion for corresponding sides?
For one rectangle, the length is 12 and the width is 4. The other rectangle has 8 as the width and x as the length. I think it's 4/12=x/8. Is this right?

"Width" is the smaller of the two dimensions of the rectangle. Since the width has doubled from 4 to 8 for the "other" rectangle, the length must double also, to 24.
So the proportion is 12/4=x/8?
Is the proportion 12/4=x/8?
No. It is 2:1
I forgot to post the answer choices
a 12/8=x/4
b 12/4=x/8
c 12/4=x/20
d 4/12=x/8
a 12/8=x/4
b 12/4=x/8
c 12/4=x/20
d 4/12=x/8
b. x (the length of the "other" triangle) = (8/4) x 12 = 24
