There is two rectangles that are similar.
Rectangle C is 3cm in legnth and the width is 5cm.
Rectangle D is 20 cm in legnth, and 12 cm in width.
I got the areas of both rectangles.
And my particular question asks for the ratio of Rectangle C to Rectangle D.
It provides the answer of 1:4 but, how do I get the answer?

For Rectangle D: Length = 20cm, Width = 12cm
Compare the Lengths:
Compare the Widths:
