Hello,

Let's x the length of the second rectangle:

x/14=3/9==>x=14/3==>x=4.666666......
Answer A

Answer:

A. 4.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

where the rectangles are similar, the ratios of the sides must be similar

Given that One has a length of 14 cm and a width of 9 cm, and the other has a width of 3 cm

let the length of the other rectangle be L

14/9 = L/3

L = (14 × 3)/9

  = 14/3

  = 4.66cm

  ≈ 4.7cm

The right option is A. 4.7 cm
