Question 1127330: A frame of width 5 cm surrounds a painting with dimensions 55 * 45cm. Is the unframed painting similar to the framed painting? Explain your answer. Answer by FrankM(1040) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! No. 'Similar' means the ratio of the sides of a figure remain in the proportion.
55/45=11/9 ratio (1.2222X)
Adding 5 all around means the full artwork is now 65*55 or 13/11 ratio, (1.1818X)
