Question 5 Look at the following rectangle. Can you draw a smaller rectangle and a bigger rectangle with the same width to height ratio in your notebooks? Compare your rectangles with your classmates’ drawings. Are all of them the same? If they are different from yours, can you think why? Are they wrong?Draw a rectangle. Let's say 4 cm × 2cm Draw a bigger one: Multiply sides by 2→ 8 cm × 4 cm Draw a smaller one: Divide sides by 2→ 2 cm × 1 cm Are they wrong? If your classmate draws a rectangle that is 4 cm × 3 cm, it is "wrong" because the ratio changed (it got fatter).
