Question

ice hockey an official olympic - sized ice hockey rink measures 30 meters by 60 meters. the ice hockey rink at the local community college measures 25.5 meters by 51 meters. are the ice hockey rinks similar? select choice select choice yes no

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the ratio of the lengths of the corresponding sides.

For the length - side ratio: $\frac{30}{25.5}=\frac{300}{255}=\frac{20}{17}$
For the width - side ratio: $\frac{60}{51}=\frac{20}{17}$

Step2: Check if the ratios are equal.

Since the ratio of the lengths of the corresponding sides of the two ice - hockey rinks are equal, the two rectangles (rinks) are similar.

Answer:

yes
