Meera says: 'Any two rectangles are similar because all their angles are 90°.'
Is Meera correct, and why?

Class 10Similarity and CongruenceGeometry — Similarity
  • ACorrect, equal angles are enough
  • BIncorrect, sides must also be in the same ratio
  • CCorrect, rectangles are always congruent
  • DIncorrect, rectangles have no equal angles

Step-by-Step Solution

Similarity needs equal angles AND proportional sides. A and a rectangle have equal angles but different side ratios, so they are not similar.
Answer: B) Incorrect, sides must also be in the same ratio
