Part B) Yes, the pictures are similar, because the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) What are the dimensions of the mural

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal  and this ratio is called the scale factor

In this problem

To find the dimensions of the mural multiply the original dimensions by 4 and then by 12

so

Part B) Are the pictures similar ?

The pictures are similar, because the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal

Verify the ratio of its corresponding sides

------> is true

therefore

The pictures are similar

is it 35

step-by-step explanation:

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
