Respuesta :

  The photo and poster of known dimensions are similar figures at a ratio of 4.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a value that allows us to know variable values of a set of elements that are related by means of a constant.

  If we want to know if these two figures are similar or proportional, they must be at a ratio, (both dimensions), for this we formulate the following:

  • 2 is to 8
  • 3 is to 12

 This will generate an equation:

2x = 8

3x = 8

  When solving for both values of "x" it must be exactly the same:

  • x = 8/2 = 4
  • x = 12/3 = 4, The picture and poster are similar.
