The ratio of the sides of similar shapes is equal to a constant. The length of the width "x" to the nearest tenth is 0.6 feet

Similar shapes

The ratio of the sides of similar shapes is equal to a constant

From the given rectangle

L/W = l/w

Given the following

L = 16.8ft

W = 2.3ft
l = 4.5feet

Required

Width of the smaller rectangle

Substitute the given parameter

16.8/2.3 = 4.5/x

16.8x = 10.35

x = 10.35/16.8
x = 0.6 feet

Hence the length of the width "x" to the neasrest tenth is 0.6 feet
