  5.   Rectangle A has dimensions 17.5 cm by 22.9 cm. Rectangle B has dimensions 4.375 cm by 5.725 cm. Are the two rectangles similar? Why?
    A. Yes, all rectangles are similar.
    B. No, because the ratios of the corresponding sides are not the same.
    C. Not enough information given
    D. Yes, because the ratios of the corresponding sides are the same.
