+22 Similar means that they have the same ratio. Simply put, as you stretch the width of the rectangle the length with stretch accordingly. The first rectangle has a ratio of 12:9 or reduced to 4:3 so a second rectangle with a width of 8 would still have a ratio of 4:3 or 8:6 so the length would be 6!
